The fact that sooty affects the size of the dots. This does confirm the fact that there are multiple genes working together to affect spot size and perhaps strength. Working to find what those other genes are is the key here.

Just an FYI to Everyone... There is Patn2 in the game. I stumbled across it when gmting my PumpkinSpice Stud. I had to remove it to add a patn1

I thought PATN2 USED to be a thing, but was removed...?

Ok, so I know that IRL grey can affect an appy horse in weird and wonderful ways. So I was wondering, does grey increase dot size? I have a megadot grey girl. Will look at her parentage later.

Ok so had a look at Coffee Date and she is hom sty. I was wondering about the grey because I thought her mum was a microdot but, upon further looking, she's a mini-dot.

2M Coffee Date

Plane of Dotty

Looking through daddys offspring, he tends to throw small/medium dots, with that grey mare being the largest by far. And having a closer look, I am wondering if she is a mega dot. Her mum is het sty, which makes me wonder if grey makes dots smaller.....should go through pages of grey appys to see if there are any megas.

These are all the ones I'd class as Megadots under the search perimeters appaloosa, grey, and under 10 years (a total of 845 horses):

Showing 793423

RF2 BestPasture47

MG2 Rosebud

CV Cant Part With You 10

1mc Sad Song

MC Show

Mistress 2G

And there are a good number with spots of this size (with slight variances--although they do not make up the majority):

678388

Apples Dont Return 2 SF

The vast majority are under big dot size (or homozygous Lp).

Gray interactions are not in the game yet.

DivineDreams · Aug 27, 2017 3:00 PM

I have some sooty appys that have small dots. Maybe DP interaction with sooty is actually the culprit? Not sure how that would work. But are there any Liver Chestnut Appys in he gam with small dots?
Below are my examples of Hom Sooty with Small dots

Hi, everyone! This mare has microdot sized spots, correct? Does anyone want a breeding lease (or eggs) when she is of age? Please note she IS an UNEVEN 3G/2G.

SPX GoldenRed Riding Hood

Are her dots smaller than her sire due to her lightened/dilute coloring?
