Color Test Results are in For Marbles

[uwharrie]

I was under the impression that Chimeria's were sterile.

at any rate this is all very interesting. Obviously brindle in horses is much different than brindle in dogs.

cant wait to see new photos of Marbles! She certainly has given us something to follow over the next few years!

(I have to say, personally, I am quite interested in Chimeric animals, hence the emphasis on this )

The only other way they can possibly tell is when Marbles has foals. If their DNA doesn not match up with hers.

So, only time will tell.

They are not sterile and can reproduce just like any other horse or human. It just may mean that the resulting foal or child may not carry the matching DNA of the chimera parent.

There was a bit thing on the health channel about chinera humans and their children that did not have matching DNA.
