PAINT SILKIES!?!?!

How do the differ from ours?

Now if someone got these paint's and they turned out to be the same sex, would they need to be crossed with blk or white silkies? And would they possibly produce paint or would they just carry it?

well, yeah. I can totally understand not posting the pics for that reason, I keep forgetting that not everyone is an honest person out there. And if Jerry is working on them, I am sure they are worth the time/expense, etc. I wont email him about them cuz I don't want to wast his time (as I am not going to get into paint silkies) but man, I would love to see them.

No blacks or white will carry this gene you must cross to a paint to get a paint!

Does breeding to black or white have any effect on the spotting?

Not by experience but this is what Ive heard dont know if it is true or not

When crossing a paint with a black this will increase the size, and numbers of the spots, it will also darken them if they become sistorted.
Crossing to White helps to keep the spots defined and more round and consitrated, this cross will fix the distorted splotchy looking spots!
Both of these crossings will of course help the type and skin color!

When you breed paint to paint for to many generations it will begin to bleach out and loose color!
