Partridge makes "salt and pepper" out of the laced pattern. The best way I can describe it is that you wind up with neither partridge nor fully laced but something in between that is not aesthetically eye pleasing. I wound up with this combination where partridge came from brown leghorns and laced from Silver Laced Wyandotte. It is not hard to breed out, but why add to the difficulty in a breeding plan.
Columbian, Melanotic, and Pattern genes are required to get lacing and it only shows up properly on a feather that has full vanes.
