I found most formulas very clear. However, when talking about red Duns, I think that formula would produce a Dunalino instead of a Red Dun, am I correct?
yes, but only if there is a cream gene acting on the coat to begin with. Dunalino is a palomino with a dun gene. if there is no cream gene, a red horse will be a red dun. :)
I have a black pony but his hair looks red at times in the mane body kinda red brown black in the sunlight Looks black on cloudy days😂 He has a few white hairs on his head just a few and a few on his butt and a few on his front leg He might get more white hair as he ages It's not a spot of white but rather a spot that has a few white hairs Silver? Black and I need to read about the red again 😂
So the cream gene can dilute BOTH Red and Black coats, as incorrectly stated in this video. A red horse with a single Cr (dominant expression) will be palomino. A Bay horse with a Cr gene will dilute to Buckskin. A black horse with Cr will be a smokey black (very hard to tell, horse may appear slightly dusty in colour) These three examples are Heterozygous, meaning they only carry 1 set of the gene. A horse with TWO Cream genes (CrCr) the coat receives a double dilution. These are Homozygous. Reds will appear Cremello, Bays will be Perlino and Blacks will be Smokey Cream. With this in mind, horses that are Homozygous (CrCr) must pass on the cream gene to any resulting offspring. Heterozygous horses (Crcr) still have the potential to pass on the dilution, but it is not guaranteed. Any horse with no cream gene crcr(recessive) will remain Red, Black or Bay. I hope this helps to explain it for you both.
Cr is incomplete dominant. It does not affect black pigment in heterozygous form. This is why buckskin horses have black points. Smoky black horses are identical to normal black horses. Any perceived difference is either just variations in the shade of black, or another dilution gene is present. (Such as silver or dun.)
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
What colour foal will a Black horse and a white gray mare produce?
How many different colour phenotypes are possible from a mating between two Buckskin Dun horses?

Okey so can i get the overview at the end?

Silver? Black and I need to read about the red again 😂
thanks
I do not understand the code C, Cr, or cr.
same i dont get it!

I understand Cr and cr already. However, C, Cr, and cr do not make any sense.
