Color Question- sorry!

crazi4horses · 10-01-2005, 01:28 PM

I have another one of those color questions you get all the time. I tried looking though, I TRIED doing my research, but don't know exactly what I am looking for. Honey is Sorrel, and I am looking into a Dunalino stud. I'm interested in what colors I could get, but none of the color % charts have 'dunalino' as a choice. Do I do Palomino, or Dun? Lol.

maybe try a perlino or cremello when ur looking at the charts since they have the same cream gene?

well I know htis horse has the dun factor, and one dilute gene. Both cremellos and perlinos have two dilute genes.

Look at palomino. When looking at your outcomes...you will just have to add dun factored horses as an option as well....because if he is a dunalino (best way to prove it is look at what he has produced when bred to non-dun factored mares....and take a peek at sire and dam's color*see if they carry the dun gene*).

You're right crazi4horses. Perlino is a bay + 2 creme genes (or a buckskin + 1 aditional creme gene)....so that has no relation to a sorrel and a palomino. However your on the right track with a cremello.... which is a sorrel + 2 creme genes...or a palomino + 1 additional creme gene. But you cannot look at those colors as a reference, as crazi4horses said...the are double dilutes.

Thanks!

I love doing genetics, well, learning about it, but the dun gene sort of threw me off a bit. So I would just do the regular color factoring(I guess? lol, im not sure what it would be called) and just add in the dun factor afterwards? The dun gene is dominant right? So a dun will always throw a dun..? hmm. I think I remember reading that somewhere?

a Dun wont ALWAYS throw a dun, it's a 50/50 chance unless they're homozygous for the dun factor

crazi4horses · 10-01-2005, 07:07 PM

oh, okay. hm. I dont know what I read then

Cool Time 84 · 10-01-2005, 07:33 PM

Well, here are SOME possibilties (though I dont know the percentages)

Red Dun, Dunalino, Sorrel/Chestnut, Buckskin, Bay, Black, Palomino... Im sure their are others too..

I love Dunalinos!!! Their color is so amazing! The DUNALINO is not an official color, so foals born Dunalino will be registered as either red dun or palomino. It depends on their body coat coloring...
