I am sure I know the answer to these but want your opinion.
Can a bay carry the cream gene hidden? Or are they always buckskin?
Now can a horse with a pinto parent test as a non pinto gene carrier? I always thought that a pinto tested for the gene was either homozygous or heterozygous. And heterozygous meant that they could care the gene but not produce pintos all the time.
I guess the questions is can a horse test as not having the pinto gene at all?
Thanks for your help.
