dun with or without cream? Test Results! Page 4

Dun - no cream, could be grullo (but it is all just a guess so be sure and test - hum that rhymes, scary) :laugh1

I see buckskin without dun.

Bay Dun, not Grullo, therefore no Cream...pretty boy, though!!!

Look at the legs on that guy!!! WOW!
I think dunskin...
ACC, you think it's countershading?

What's daddy look like?

Yes I do think it's countershading. The color is all wrong for bay dun IMO. The leg bars (and even the dorsal) are not nearly evident enough for me to think dun.

Daddy is a grullo roan.

I vote Bay dun and very handsome chap !

looks buckskin or dunskin to me

Bay Dun for me.

I'll try to get some try pictures today. At first I thought he was completely solid except for the small star but he seems to have a white strip around his cornet band on back right foot and possibly one on the front right also. His full brother has only the small star and a small white spot on the bottom of his left back foot.

I think I've settled on bay dun. His dorsal is brown rather than black. I'm going to name him Imperial Fire Storm Which is a name I had picked out for last years foal but didn't seem to fit after he got here. He's already hard to photograph as he wants to walk up to you to get petted. Oh yes I I'll back track on the white on the cornet bands it must have been just wet hair because they don't look white this morning. I tried to get a picture of the white hairs under his coat but they didn't turn out.

I took the first one yesterday but the rest I took this morning.

Scratching feels GOOD!!!!

You can see his color pretty good in these What do you guys think Creme or no?

Yes, it is evident in those new pictures.
You do have to bear in mind that, whilst the US requires all the bells and whistles for it to be a "true" Dun, nowhere else does, and we do actually have quite a few Duns in Europe that not only are not Buckskin ( :lol: ) but also do not have the leg bars, face masks etc etc that the Americans seem to require.....

I think dunskin... He's really yellowy. :love

Interesting. Much better photos. Definitely appears to be dun now. No question bay based either way. I strongly suspect cream. Can you get another shot of his leg bars? They were one of the reasons I thought not dun... and I have seen some VERY convincing non dun foals.

I'm going to guess just buckskin

Well I guess it doesn't really matter either way. I'm trying to decide, if I had to choose, would rather him be just dun or just cream. Dun has always been my favorite color but this is the last chance I'll have for a cream foal out of this mares lines as the daughter I have from her is chestnut. So I guess its a draw. I'm going to keep him for sure!

I'll see if I can't get an additional photo of his leg bars. Its still overcast out side and more rain in the forecast for tomorrow. I'm so ready for some sunshine!

You could have both. :laugh1 I still stay with cream, but I really am on the fence about dun (leaning more towards it now).

Well I went and took some pictures of his legs but I have to say they are inconclusive. I went and looked at the foal pictures from grullablue.com and some of the dun foals she has pictured have no leg bars what so ever but the body tone doesn't seem right.

I think he might be one for....
:GTM

You can see leg bars on that picture?????? :shock:

More like mottling :bounce

I see one or two (maybe three) faint ones on the front. I see one or maybe two on the hind. Either way I've seen that much on a non dun.

http://www.duncentralstation.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is another good place to look.

I agree with you the tone isn't right, but if cream is in there, it wouldn't be. :)

I see bars. :?

[color=#8000BF][b]I say bay dun as well.

Hmm..looks more Cream in the new photos. He's probably got both (Cream & Dun).

Sticking with Dun though!

That sort of mottling sometimes does go with Dun, I think Dunskin from the new pics - very cute either way !

Well, Rabbit has no leg bars, I have looked and looked, believe me, and none of his Black Dun offspring have had them, either, whatever "Duncentral" might like to think!!
Neither of the Red Dun fillies I have by him has leg bars or face mask either....so it is another of these, "can be there but does not have to be there" things.
And I can't see either leg bars or mottling, but it must be my monitor if people can see these....

I took these yesterday at dusk. Of course I had to miss the him running and playing I ran back inside for my camera but he had finished already when I got outside.

Gorgeous !...and Dunskin !! :lol:

On the fence both ways. *pulls hair out* Pretty rare for me to be unsure.

That boy has muscles!!

[color=#8000BF][b]He's so cute!! Ummmm more pics please!! :D ;) :D

See he's colored a lot like Jackie. I highly suspect cream as well.
I just gotta break down & test.[/b][/color]
