I would not think the "trait" would be in the Monlezaun WC animal that is becoming a prevelant trait out there since Tommy has been bred to several females each year. I would think it would have popped up sooner than this if it was related to teh WC line.

However, IF the trait is inheritable I would think it came from the Vandeventer animal Tommy has. If my memory serves correctly, he has a really "speckled" Vandeventer female. This animal is in the line that produced this female. They look VERY similar.

So, I agree it may be reproduceable but I doubt it is simple recessive, mor like line bred as the originator suggests. Breed it back to the dad and let's see what happens.
