Pied hets??

wolsniw Jan 20, 2005 09:34 PM

hello is there a way to tell if a BP is het for pied? I've seen many belly shots in the classifieds and was wondering if there were any external indicators??
Thanks for your time

Most het pieds have what are are called marker traits. The belly will be all white and the sides of the belly will have the black pattern connected making parallel strpies that run down the tail.

Not all het pieds have these traits and not all balls that have these traits are het for piebald but it is a good indicator.

We have four het piebalds from two different breeders, Cypress Creek and Exotics By Nature, and all exhibit these marker traits...
