I think I've got this right in my head, but wanted to throw a question out there for the colour/gene experts.
So Levi's sire, Triple K's Double Your Destiny is a cremello. Levi's dam, Lexus, is a silver black. Levi is a smokey black (no visible silver markers on him whatsoever....black mane...a caramel-y tail). Does that mean that Lexus (his dam) is heterozygous for the silver gene? If she was homozygous, then all black based foals would exhibit the silver gene, right? Am I right about that?
