This is my het DP buckskin mare. I don't believe yours is dark enough.

@bluchrystals @Peachtree, I didn’t even notice the brown allele! That makes so much sense, thank you both!

Blu, your mare is absolutely gorgeous!

At indeed makes a buckskin more dark:

This is a normal stysty buckskin (but like chestnuts and bays there are some variations in shade):

MS ItsABuckaroo SF PAS

MSR Pro7856216 EeAA W2

MSR DancingAround xKITPAS

MS Pro7773469 EeAaCr xKIT (this one could trick ya but is no DP as you'll see comparing her to the following few)


This is a stysty het DP Buckskin (she is much darker, more brownish and more shaded overall, resulting in another 'tint' of buckskin):

MSH Warwick Time DP PAS

MSR Gendarmie DP PAS

MSH Buckadoo DP PAS

MS 7281871 (This one has S+ making her dapples more pronounced, don't be fooled by that! Her dad = homo DP so she is het DP

This is a stysty hom DP Buckskin (Not only does she has very pronounced dapples, but most of all her shade is much darker and deeper brown, the creamy spots from the buckskin are darkened a lot as well; especially if you compare her cheeks to the cheeks of the het DP buckskins for example: the het DPs have some light blush going on, this one almost has 'no blush' and is much darker on her topline (ears, top of her back) than the het DPs):

This one is tricky, as she has appy that changes her color a bit. But if you compare her 'base' shade, you see she is much darker in base, thus being hDP.

This is anoter tricky one:

MS2 Returned2MyCraftGPDP
Look at her pronounced dappling, just like the girl above. But: this one has S+, the girl above not. Therefore my guess is that she is only het DP, her base color is quite lightish compared to the other 3 hom DP buckskins I posted.

This is a normal stysty AtA Buckskin:

Mechanical TickShenever produced a DP foal.

MS2 Belfry DollKPGP

But look what happens if you throw some S+ in the mix: super cool dappling!

This is a stysty het DP Ata Buckskin:

MS2 FlashMyFrau DPGP SHOW

This is a stysty hom DP Buckskin (notice that they almost look black as a base color and not much left of the creamy belly spot is almost gone, as well as almost no brown/creamy cheeks):

MS2 ReturnOfTheBeatLOOVE (at least het DP)

@Master StablesMS,
Wow, that’s an incredibly thorough list of examples, thank you so much! I know I’ll be coming back to this thread to reference them again in the future! :D

So is this guy het DP? I keep going between him and this post but I'm still kinda confused.
