She appears to have an adult coat. This is an indicator of the gray gene. She'll start graying with eye-goggles at about 6 months.horsegirl008 wrote:I'm not sure if this girl is black or a shade of gray
Her base coat appears to be a grulla.
It will be difficult to get a non-gray from these parents, but not impossible. 25% chance of a non-gray, 50% of single-carrier grays and 25% chance of double carrier grays.
She is one of the last two, either a single or a double gray. She may always throw grays.

Once you get used to the gray gene, it's easy to tell if yes or if no.
