Champagne with Cream and Pearl Dilutes

Post by Shadow Scar »

I've looked throughout the forums but there's no images of each type of base coat for ch/cr and ch/prl. If anyone can figure out these eight horses base colors that would be much appreciated.

https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2589863 - I agree with your conclusion of the genetics. Brown base.
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2834294 - Again I agree. Black base. Does this mean that you already have the answer to your base question? :D
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2858808 - This one is Brown. Difficult to see, but in that one-year photo, there's the barest blush along the flank area.
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2863173 - This one is Brown as well. Much harder to see, though the nose in the 1-year gives it away.

https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2829794 - I'm almost positive this is Brown. There's flushing on the stomach at 1-year and those lower legs give me pause. So I'd pin it as brown.
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2858783 - Just like the last one, I think this one is also Brown and for the same reasons I gave.
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2863283 - Again, Brown.
https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2863616 - This one, I'm leaning more toward Bay... or Black. But more toward bay because of the leg color. Black I think should be just a tad more uniform... or with a slightly more pure color toward the white spectrum.

Those are definitely difficult. Silverine or another with dilute practice may have different conclusions. But for the most part, I agree with your line of thinking (tracking the genes through the pedigree always helps :mrgreen: )

Yeah I have no idea how I even came close to figuring out those first two. :lol: I've been keeping track of their genes hoping it'd be easier to identify these double dilutes, but as you can see it got a little confusing. I'll defintily be doing out breeding to some non-dilute brown/black based horses to hopefully get a complete idea of what offspring they'll have. Thanks so for the help again. :mrgreen:

Yup!
If you can get only reds... or can breed out all the agouti's... the genes will be a bit easier to decipher. Entirely your decision though. :mrgreen:
