My new Saddleback Sebastopol Geese!

[Cottage Rose]

Just arrived!
2008 pair of saddleback Sebs!
I just love then!

They're so sweet!
These pics don't do them justice.
Hope to get some better ones soon.
I'm also getting a curly white, saddleback carrier gander in January.


Smooth gander on the left, curly goose on the right.

Good luck with your pretty ones.

GORGEOUS! I have a pair of lavenders reserved for spring, as well...but you're making me want some saddlebacks, too!

How old are they?

 

[onthespot]

is saddleback a dominant trait? My friend has a tufted sebastopool, like a tufted roman but with frills.

Thanks everybody!

I'm excited and can hardly wait for the breeding season.
They're around 8 months old.

To answer your question...as far as SB's being dominant this is how it works when breeding saddlebacks to whites.

NOTE:
These breedings are sex linked!

Saddleback gander x white goose =
white females with black spots & all white males.
All carry the saddleback gene so if you breed a white s.b. carrier to another white s.b. carrier or a saddleback they will produce saddleback offspring.


Spots may not be plentiful or big or could be hidden under a wing etc.


White Gander x saddleback goose =
white males with black spots & all white females.
All carry the saddleback gene so if you breed a white s.b. carrier to another s.b. carrier or saddleback they will produce saddleback offspring.

So its not that hard to make Saddlebacks!
