They're refered to as reduced pattern because they have reduced black areas. I've always wondered if balls were golden with black patterning or black with golden patterning. Seems like the first explanation is the most accepted...lol. Anyway, here is a pic of a nice reduced male I got a while back. Next year I'll be able to comment more on his genetics, as I have a female with nearly identical characteristics that will be mature enough for breeding this winter.
