Precious_filly_1_week_old_009-312x226.jpg


This cute filly was born 3 weeks ago. I am hoping she is dark buckskin not bay. Her color has always looked more brown than red.

What should I test for to know for sure. Creme?

Sire has never had a red based foal, not tested but probably homoz black, he is buckskin pinto.

Dam is sorrel pinto, out of a blk pinto sire.

Thanks in advance.
 
You know she is Black based and know she carries Red, so no need to test for Black/Red. It is obvious she carries Agouti (at least the mane and tail appear Black), but don't know if she is homozygous or heterozygous. The only thing left to test for is Cream.

She doesn't really look Buckskin to me, but I suppose it is possible.
