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

I totally agree, Heather. From what I've seen, BEW's are much rarer than
the statistics say they are. We are going to breed pinto to pinto and multi to
multi to test out this theory, since we want multis and are only getting
solids by breeding them to a solid.

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.
