Partridge Silkies - Nothing else

I've read that here a few times and kept my mouth shut. No. Lavender has nothing to do with blue partridge.

One copy of lavender would have no effect on the black pigment. Two copies of lavender would dilute both black and red pigment and create a lavendar partridge. Pretty, but not at all the same thing.

I am not doubting your word on this at all but when I talked to George M over the phone he told me to make a true blue partridge
you need to use lav. More info please

I've always heard to get blue partridge - lavander has nothing to do with it. I've gotten blue partridges out of blue/recessive partridge X partridge - actuall i've gotten 2 nice black partridge, 1 nice blue partridge and a few 'off' colored ones.

from my understanding like Sonoran said, lavander would either not dilute at all, or if 2 copies would dilute black and red...I've seen a 'lavander' partridge - very pretty but super pale and barely any penciling 'partridge' pattern that you can see with the naked eye. Pretty, but I called it a "blue ghost" partridge since thats what it reminded me of

So i really don't see how lavander is in the make up of blue partridge.

As both the Blue and the Lavender are completely different genes....you want a blue partridge....not a lavender partridge right?
