Got Nimir's GREY test back from animal genetics and he is Gg...which means heterozygous,right? I need to send in a sample to UC Davis for the chimeric test....
Does this mean he could still go grey if he is BRINDLE and not chimeric?:-(
Not likely since janelle (the brindle expert lol) thinks he is chimeric. She told me there is one person at UC Davis that does the chimeric test. I believe if he is chim he will stay the same. If he is brindle there is a chance he may completely grey....I think....
hey,i don't know if this has to do with anything but I was looking at the photos of when you first got him up untill now. It might be because it's winter but his brindling isn't as apparent as it was when you first got him.It's still very obvious he is brindled but looks to have faded on his back side and not some many stripes.
To be honest, I think he is going to go grey. His brindling looks like it has darkened quite a lot since you got him, and his face just screams grey to me.
Being chimeric would mean his striping is the combo of conjoined twins, correct?
The OP sent hair to DNA-test for grey, and the test was positive.
If he is chimeric, he will have 2 DNA "fingerprints"..... but at least one DNA "fingerprint" tested positive for grey, so at least SOME of him will turn grey.... correct?
I think...but his background is already grey so his darker stripes may stay and his lighter background may continue to get lighter...until he is white with dark grey stripes
Lol.... Nuh-meer...means Tiger in Arabian...but I know it is weird. I call him nims usually...haha
He is doing wonderful! I have been riding him in my dressage saddle and he looks so cute...I was thinking western on him,but he may be an english horse yet!
Thank you very much QHDragon! I hope he is looking better...he is just still so gangly....he should grow into himself by 5-6 tho
