The only real way to tell if a liver dun is Hom or het DP is by looking at the muzzle and lower legs. The muzzle and lower legs of a hom DP will be exceptionally dark, while a het DP will be lighter.

You can’t always tell just looking at the body color, because dun causes variations. The hom DP does make the body darker, but it can be hard to tell. And when you start adding in white spotting genes, frame, splash, and appy that can cause the lower legs or muzzle to be “covered”, it can make it almost impossible to tell. You will really only be able to tell whether het or Hom by using a GMT to check, or by test breedings.

Ok. I will be doing a lot of considering on whether I’ll put it on my FF stud colt.

Yah and it looks great. Thank you everyone for all of your help.
