I have a B/W Stallion,

His sire is B/W pinto,

his dam is listed as a gray and white pinto.

He has a full brother who is a B/W pinto. and is LWO

He has 5 full siblings who are B/W pintos

My stallion has had:

4 "solids" with varying amounts of white (none have been genetically tested to see if they are actually pintos)

12 black based pinto foals

I have two mares who I THINK carry the cream gene, which I am not partial to.

What should I test my stallion for, except LWO ( which I always test for) ?
 
Do you have any pictures you could post of him?
 
I would test for black and tobiano if you are curious. Sounds likes there's a good chance he may be homozygous for black and tobiano both. I do not bother with the sabino or splash tests.
 
I'm not sure....My filly is a brown and white pinto and her mom was pure black and her dad was a black paint..
