What do you guys think should I add another Llp to this guy. I'm torn I want to breed for Hom Appaloosas but i kinda like the way he looks.

Well, if you breed another appy to him, the foal will have a better chance of getting Lp at all, let alone Homozygous, but if you breed a Homozygous stud from him, then you'll have a certain type of breeding heterozygous mares from his son. He does looks cool. :D I'd say go ahead, breed some appies to him, and then you'll get some het appies and some hom appies and hopefully no plain ones but hey. Could still happen. :D

I wouldn’t make him Hom LP, the ice genes won’t show on his coat anymore. If that doesn’t matter, you just want the ice so it will pass on, I say go for it. You will be guaranteed all foals will be appys if he’s a Hom LP, but some will be few spot if you breed to other appys.

Not true. He will just lose his spots in his blanket.

Two things I do before I GMT is 1) consider how the genes will affect foals and 2) search for horses that have the similar/same genes so I can get a bit of a preview. RoseFlute covered possible foals, so here is a similar horse.
