Re: White Oldenburg
DW- simple dominant, so dw dw (for the sake of argument im using these letters to reperesent them) is 'normal', DW dw is white and DW DW is embryonic lethal?
Yes I know how many times we've been through this but I require repeared large print before it gets through.
So any horse carrying DW is white? so is the sire white for this foal? cos the dam looks high sabino roaned to me (assuming she is the buttock behind the foal in the pic) definately not white anyway....
Cos is neither sire or dam is white and foal is then it cant be DW can it? has to be sabino?

Dominant White is usually all white. Other times it looks like a loud sabino.
This horse is dominant white.

Re: White Oldenburg
Simple dominant means like with dun doesnt it, dd - 'normal', Dd - 'dun', DD - 'dun'. The heterozygote and homozygote are the same. Actually wouldnt that mean that al homozygous lethals where incomplete dominants, like LWO nn = not Nn = pigment resitricted NN= pigment completely resticted and nerves affected?
Anyway DW is like a sabino or frame gene in that the expression varies then?

I know that LWO is considered incomplete dominant because the expression is different. But I don't think its related to them being lethal.

Like all of the pinto patterns, yes.
Re: White Oldenburg
No DW wouldn't be considered an incomplete dominant because the trait that the gene is influencing is not life or death, it's color. So the dominance in that case we would be looking at two separate traits; the color pattern, the death or no death battle. Because DW always expresses at least somewhat when it is present makes it a simple dominant, unlike frame which can be present with no markings whatsoever.

OK, thanks, I have not got around to reading them yet...information overload!
