Color Changes

They need to do some color changes on the site.

Buckskin and Dun are listed as the same color.

Buckskin is a Bay with a Cream gene.

Dun is a gene that causes a diluting of the body color, a dorsal stripe, zebra striping on the legs, dark points, and sometimes cobwebbing and darkening over the withers.

People are trying to put in that a horse is Dun but it looks like the horse is a Buckskin. So you get these pedigrees with a red dun -> buckskin -> buckskin -> grulla, like the dun gene skipped two generation.

AND

Sabino is not a color. It's a pinto or white color pattern.

What could be done and it would be great, is to have to the right of the color selection a seprate selector for pinto patterns. The patterns all have to be added to the height section now.
How about this:
Overo (ov)
Tovero (tov)
Tobiano (tob)
Frame Overo (fr ov)
Sabino (sab)
Splash (spl)

AND

They need to add the colors:
Cremello
Perlino
Smokey Cream
Champagne

These all modify the basic colors, brown, black, chestnut, etc. all of which are covered in the choices given. The details you are looking for can be addressed in a comments section on the horse.

Here's an email I received. Since I cannot for some reason send out my emails, I have posted it here, and my response below it. This is from a "Mary Haas"

"I" don't allow anything, if you have read any other part of the "Using the ALLBREEDS site" forum. The owners of the site are thoroughbred
breeders. The colors they have chosen to use in their pedigree program are the colors that will be.

I never said ANYTHING like dun and buckskin were the same modifier. Where the freak did you read that?? The base colors available to use are the only colors you are going to get. That's all. If you want to delve into
modifiers, do it in the comments section of the pedigree. THAT's what I said about modifiers. If you have a soap box to preach, do it on the board. I will post your comments on the board where you SHOULD have responded. And my reaction.

Cheers,

INYUREYE
