Brown or Bay?

I have asked the same question on a small UK forum to see if it is just me who is so uneducated on the matter

According to a member on the UK forum (on the thread posted above), most of these bays which you think are brown are indeed bays with variations....now I don't know who is correct. Anyone actually have scientific evidence?

lets just call them Bayrown

This is the only lab that currently tests for brown. They have isolated the At gene, but they have not released a paper on it yet.

A good informative article on brown:

I got some winter coat pics today! Unfortunately they are not loading on my laptop, and I can only post one at a time on my phone

Here is the teddy bear, looking very dirty and fluffy in his field:P

O.O okay that's the wrong picture! Here is the actual one:

Thank you...any other sites. I still find this very confusing as opinions are so different in the UK.

Opinions may well be different, but if there is genetic proof who can argue that?

I can't argue it as I simply don't know enough , but there are some interesting counter arguements here which go with what I have previously thought to be the case. Bit hard to link two discussions at once by I'm reading them together
