Lp Experiment - AC Horse Edition
Posted: Fri Jun 23, 2017 12:10 am
I'm working on breeding "dalmatian" horses, and in doing so I've bred some black horses with pretty extensive white. But it seems that there's some key to getting the white parts all over on the black that I'm missing and I've started experimenting with horses from the AC to see where it might be hiding. This log is to display the results of these experiments.
Process:
Every mare is bred three times with the same stallion. If she does not produce offspring with sufficient white patterning among those three foals she is culled from the program. The same stallion is used each time to add consistency. Foals without sufficient white are culled at birth.
I have chosen to use my stallion SVA Moonstruck for this project. He is homozygous for Lp and dominant extension so his foals will always be spotted and will always be either bay, brown, or black.
