I have had two perlino foals born here. One is the colt Magic is talking about.
Here is a picture of the colt, Irish Hills Waterloo Sunset.
Sire is Little Kings Junior Jinx (buckskin)
Dam is Cross Country Behind Blue Eyes (buckskin)
And the filly is Irish Hills Miss Michigan
Sire is Little Kings B T Buck Bandito (buckskin pinto)
Dam is Little Kings Heir To Glory (buckskin & paternal sister to Jinx mentioned above)
Only the colt's mane and tail was darker then his body when he was born. The filly's mane and tail was the same color and I thought originally she was a smoky creme, but I did have her tested and she is a perlino. Like Lori said, the only way to know for sure is to test.
Perlino = black base, agouti, two creme genes ... or picture a buckskin with an additional creme gene.
Cremello = red base, two creme genes ... or picture a palomino with an additional creme gene.
I may have a double dilute or two born next year.
I have Bandito bred to Penny (buckskin pinto x buckskin)
I have Jinx bred to Glory (buckskin x buckskin)
I have Jinx bred to Sunset (buckskin x buckskin)
Yep, there are three chances there for double dilutes.
