I'm still learning about DP myself but since she us hom sty, she could be het DP and still test Liver. I think??

The liver combinations are:
- het sooty, hom DP
- hom sooty, het DP
- hom sooty, hom DP.

So if we count each "dark" gene (sooty and DP) as 1 point, the horse is liver/chocolate when it has 3 or 4 points :)
Hom DP with no sooty or hom sooty with no DP gives dark color, but isn't counted as liver.

Thanks guys! Yeah I just wasn't sure because I have multiple livers, but she's my darkest one yet. And on top of that she's a HH mare so it just really threw me off.
