Seconding @Natalya. I'm not great with champagnes but his dam definitely isn't DP, so at most this little guy is het by his sire. Checking the sire's foals, some of the chestnuts look kind of dark for SSty or SS, but it looks like if they got DP it was from the dam.

This foal alone makes me question, because for a SS chestnut she's awfully dark.

This (that foal's dam) is the color I typically expect from an SS chestnut. I would guess the little one has a copy of DP, which in this case would have to be from the sire, so perhaps he's het. Maybe someone else could weigh in. There aren't that many foals so it's tricky to tell.

BUT! Disclaimer, I'm not super great with horses without sooty, so take all of that with a grain of salt. It's really difficult to tell with champagnes, so it's hard to give a definitive answer. Hope some of this was helpful :) good luck!

Also, I second @Peachtree on that filly. She about had to have gotten DP from somewhere

Also also, DP can be super sneaky! I found out just yesterday that this mare, whom I've had for nearly a year, is het DP (the appaloosa varnish is making her a lot lighter, btw. Look at the spots on her rump)

She threw me for a loop with a liver foal by a stud that I know doesn't have DP!
