Hi Renee: In general, it seems easier to see the pheo wash on the lighter sheep, with it being most obvious when it occurs on the Awt. So, if Mm carriers tend...
Hi Linda, Yes the only thing with Awt is that the phaeo often only lasts for a short period of time I have mated out my moorits to a white ram (also carrying...
I thought I read somewhere that a single fiber will either have phaeomelanin or eumelanin but not both. This thread seems to imply that a single fiber can...
I would describe it as a phaeo wash but if anyone knows any different then I'd be pleased to find out:-) Renée . ... -- I am using the free version of...
Hi Linda I concur. Of the reddish moorits in my flock, they are all suspected of carrying the modifier, and most are proven to be, either through having a...
A few years ago I took some samples from my fawn ram and a fawn ewe and a black ewe and scanned them into a computer file with high resolution: 1000 pixels per...
Hi All: Theresa Gygi did some evaluations of the Shetland modified colours, using a high powered microscope and different light sources. She found that the ...
Some years ago Dr. Sponnenburg did a gorgeous coffee table style book on the colors of horses where the hairs were magnified and looked at this closely and...

Hi Holly and all: When I mentioned a pheo wash, I was thinking of the warm, reddish tint that some of the Shetlands have, not banding or stripes of pigment....
I have made a photo album of pictures of brown and red sheep form around the world. These breeds are totally brown or red. There are others that have brown and...
One thing that has been noticed in ouessants is that the very spectacular reds in black sheep are only present in certain sheep and not only those that are...
Kathy, By what process did you scan them into a computer file? Was it a scanner or digital camera or something else? I would like to try this. Thanks. Del ... ...
Hi, nice pictures. But whar are you trying to show? Aren't they a mixture of Awt reds, B+ brownish, Bb browns and perhaps some BbBbAgAg. Too difficult for me...
I just went through my storage room and pulled out and went through a bunch of microscopes.I have cleaned up and repaired all of these scopes. I have 5...
Well it is not so much for a point but a reference. We can all use these pictures as reference points to our different theories of what genes are being passed....
Hi! After few years, we got a second Finnsheep lamb to the flock which is grey with white stomach. The lamb was born as dark grey and has a stomach of a...
Hi Riina, I have Navajo-Churro. I have had grey lambs with white bellies. One of my ewes is light grey with white belly as an adult and the other is dark...
I think you have English blues though that one may be an English brown. English blue is supposed to be the most recessive of pattern genes. But you are the...

I'm trying to research the lateral stripe on our ewe Holly. I see that this is described in Lundie's paper in the 1984 Coloured Sheep and Their Products, World...
Penny, If I remember correctly, Holly is not lateral stripes. She is a black and tan with a badger overlay. This gives her black lateral stripes, which is ...
Sorry somehow the e-mail was sent too soon. What Lundie says in the New Zealand World Congress book on Lateral Stripe pattern at the Agouti locus. The lambs...
Penny, Have you tried to contact the Black and Coloured Sheep Breeders' Association of New Zealand to buy the book directly from them? They are who published...
Laurelen, Thanks for this. Now I understand. I know she is black and tan (though she looks cream colored and she is sooty when wet) and badgerface but I...
Hi group, Was wondering if anyone from this group is planning on going to Brazil in September. To attend the 7th World Congress on Coloured Sheep. Linda,...
