APHA Double-Pearl

Disputed Dun

Examples coming, unless the dun test is developed and makes this page beside the point. (The test is currently in the works!)

These are Dun-looking (striped) horses in breeds that "don't have dun horses". Also, horses without "all of the required markings" who have dun parents or progeny or other reasosn they may still be dun.

Until (unless?) I get this page going, here is a link to a page about it on dungenes.org

Iberian duns:

An Over-simplified Overview

Of course, the Sorraia and related breeds/crosses have many, if not all, undisputed duns.

Portuguese-bred: There are some undisputed duns in the Lusitano breed. Others are being studied.

Spanish-bred: This list/website recognizes at least one Andalusian dun. He resides in New Zealand.

In addition to these, it seems that most other Iberian horses with markings usually accepted as Dun either:

	are, or may be, going gray
	are suspected to be black or smoky black (with one cream gene) whose markings are at least partially obscured by the dark coloring of the surrounding areas.

Some believe that the gray gene itself is causing the dun markings in the first case, and that something like nap or hair texture is causing them in the second case.
