Is there a breeding combination that would confirm a ram is AwtAwt.? In an effort to solve the question over the prescence or not of dominant black I think I...
Hi Renee: I believe that you could use any combination of Agouti patterns that did not have an Aa for your testing ram. Awt/Awt would work but so would AbAg...
Hi thanks makes absolute sense but unfortunately for the moment I have access to only black or white examples and the breed has no breeding or progeny...

Hello Renée- Remembering that with the breed I have (Soay sheep), there are only two agouti patterns (A+ and Aa), my comments come from readings and internet...
