Had a white purebred Shetland lamb out of a Awt/Aa B?/Bb SS/S? ewe and Aa/Aa Bb/Bb SS/S? ram a few days ago. She's white with 3 round 1 inch spots of...

Small round pigmented spots can appear on Awt sheep. I have had several lambs like that, although the spots were more like half an inch in diameter. One clue...
Hi Holly, I would think the brown spotts ae just incomplete coverate of the base colors. I wouldn't base spotting on that since YES spotting is white, not...

Hi, I've been lurking for several months as I hope to someday have Shetland Sheep. What I need help with is a primer so that I know what people are talking...

Hi Tara - Interesting colours on your Jacobs, especially the pewter. In the photo the pewter looks quite a bit like like dilution (dd) - is it really that ...
Lilac Jacobs are indeed interesting, and probably include several different genetic mechanisms. Some of these are doubtlessly Agouti locus patterns that are...
Hi Tara, I have Extention dominance in my Churro sheep and found it through documented breeding with known extention recessives. While it may not be scientific...
I would just like to make a couple comments. First of all, you need to read up on the A locus. This is, in most breeds of sheep, the most important for...
