Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: silver spot vs white spot
Try breeding your pintos and multis to white. Let me think back on
all of the breedings we've had that speak to this topic:
Beige dam, barely visible fawn/brown on face and topknot X white sire
= brown/white pinto cria
same dam X different white sire = fawn/white pinto cria
brown dam X white sire = pinto females 2 years in a row
dam similar to 1st example X TB sire, no white = pinto cria brown/white
same dam x brown sire = fawn/white pinto cria
TB dam with small white posts on face & topknot, behind one ankle X
TB sire, no white but small fawn spot on shoulder = TB cria with 4
boots and white face!
same TB dam X silver grey = light fawn cria
same TB dam X Avatar = drg cria :)
same TB dam X DRG/ID sire = light fawn cria (Kallista)
same dam X white = maroon cria
different TB dam with white on face X silver grey = BEW cria
I will say that out of all of our breedings over the last 11 years,
those small white spots on fawn or browns don't make for BEW. Those
small fawn or brown spots on white don't make for BEW. We've bred
them to each other and the only BEW came from breeding a solid with
white spot to the grey. And that was our 25% chance, I guess, because
my TB dam with white bred to grey/roan 3X did not produce BEW.

PS. I also don't agree with this professor's theory on white being
dominant and black being recessive. I have a different TB dam with no
white on her who has only thrown black even bred to white and fawn
exclusively. And some of these sires had nothing but white in the
pedigree, so there goes the "stealth black" theory! ;>
