What genetic tests would you do?

What genetic tests would you do on this filly not sure of her color and pattern combanations .Thinking about the test for $40.

If you are not in a big hurry, I would do the $40 test and get everything tested.

If you're in more of a hurry, you could probably rule out some tests based on what her parents are.

If you are talking about doing the new test that was in the other post...they test for everything already for the $40...you don't get to choose which tests are done. It will give you all the color tests results plus the tobiano and frame(LWO)!

She is very flashy...looks to be either splash or a combo of tobiano and splash.

Thanks everyone for the input and a big thanks to freeland for finding the testing lab.don't they have to wait till they have a certain number of tests to do before they will start testing and does anyone have any idea how many tests it takes for them to have enough to run a patch of tests ? I guess if they do color , tobiano ,SB1 and LWO tests I should go with the $40.00 test just in case I decide to let her have a foal some day.

Nancy, someone on the other thread contacted the lab and they said a batch is 50 tests. On the color forum I visit, they said they were supposed to run a batch this week. I sent my three in on Saturday. Hope they get in this batch, but if not, it sounds like several others are going to send in and maybe it won't be long until they get another batch to run.

Thanks Freeland, I think I will send mine in tomorrow maybe we can get a test going.
