My two-year old filly is absolutely DRIPPING with dun factor. I know you can send in tail/mane hairs to a DNA Lab (i.e. UC Davis) to check for red and black factor, the Agouti gene, the cream dilution, and the silver dilution, but there isn't a "test" (That I have found) to conclude if a horse is homozygous for the dun gene.
Is testing for the Agouti gene a way to figure it out? I'm so confused - can someone explain this to me? :(
Thank you!
