Re: [AlpacaTalk] Re: silver spot vs white spot

One university professor who is studying color inheritance of alpacas
and has theories on spots and grey/merle/roans does say that there is
the same 25% chance of getting a BEW from a breeding between a spot
and a spot, as with a spot and a grey.

I don't agree, and all the anecdotal response I've seen from breeders
doesn't bear out his theory. Breeders report only patterns (pinto or
other color/white pattern) or solid coloreds from breedings between
spot/spot alpacas.
