Color testing question

[eagles ring farm]

We have a double dilute filly, I want to test she appears to be possible perlino/smokey cream but creamello is not ruled out completely

Dam is Perlino (tested) sire is Palomino

what do I test for to cover my bases and represent her for what she truly is

I figure agouti, but what else would you test for?

Agouti and Black- that will tell you if she is Smoky Cream , Cremello or Perlino

Yep the red/black test and the agouti one, if you know they carry two creams you can skip that test.

Thanks Jane and Teresa I figured black would be necessary to really be sure along w/ agouti

I am sure she is DD so no need for that test. Good that combo is one of the combined test pricing animal genetics has

thank again

I think Equine Genetics has a special rate now on those two tests together - saves $10.
