| Senior Member+ | You want to know why colored breeders get a bad rap? Because of this statement I found on a breeding/sales website, regarding a cremello colt: Quote:
 Fortunately it appears that the colt grew up to be quite breeding worthy, but more often that not, that isn't the case.

This statement isn't true!: Quote:
The only time the offspring will be the color of the mare, is if the mare herself is a double dilute. Everything else will be the color of the mare diluted! Taking the statement literally.

| Senior Member+ | LOL, mostly about the point that his color is what makes him good for breeding. I know LOTS of colored breeders who don't know squat about the genetics of color, so I just shake my head and try to ignore that part

| Senior Member+  | I know the baby isn't always the color of the mare because I have a beautiful palomino mare that came out of a dark buckskin mare. I don't know what color daddy was. Sunny turned out OK anyway. I don't know anything about genetics but I know if you breed for color it is a toss of the dice. If you expect a certain color you will be disapointed most of the time. You breed for quality and hope for color but quality is more important.

| Senior Member+ | Jennie, the thing about a cremello (or perlino, or smokey cream) is that you're GUARANTEED to get at least a single dilute from any breeding - palomino, buckskin, smokey black - because cremello and the other 2 are double dilutes - a dilute WIL be passed on. That's why these guys are so attractive to colored breeders, and that's why many of them breed them - they look at ONLY the color, because color is a hot seller. If it was a homozygous tobiano colt, the same thing happens - "ohhh, he'll ALWAYS throw spots, let's keep him a stallion and breed him!".
