Are blue eyes hereditary?
-
New to the game, well, returning after a long absence. Can you specifically breed for blue eyes?
-
Yes, you can!
There are specific genes that cause blue eyes. Dilution genes, like cream, turn the eyes blue. Champagne, I believe it is, and maybe pearl? turn the eyes more green. Splash and any gene that will cause white over the horses eyes will cause blue eyes too.
And then we have Tiger Eye. TE1 and TE2 function the same, although one is more rare on random creates than the other (and thus costs more gmts). Tiger Eye lightens the eye and can cause yellow, green, or blue eyes depending on the base coat that it is working on.
Depending on the effect you want with your horses depends on what you will breed. If you don't mind double creams, then cream is an easy way to get those blue eyes. It would have to be 2 copies though.
Splash 1 is also another easy, safe option to get blue eyes. It can be overpowering so you'd need to keep an eye on the white factor, as with splash lines it can creep up.Producer of Volcanic Glass Drafts. Lapisobsidianus.

Thanks for the information! Hadn't even heard of tiger eye. Cool!

Tiger Eye, much like its name, usually prefers to turn a horses eyes yellow but it can achieve the other colours as well. Feel free to have a play in the horse search with dilution genes, white genes, and tiger eye to see what combinations will get you what. Or post in here what base colours you want (Ie black horse, minimal white, or a horse with fancy whites) and I'll see what I can dig upProducer of Volcanic Glass Drafts. Lapisobsidianus.
