BWC's Saturn
Nickname: Thayna
Color: DPP Lilac Pied F
Genetics: aa CC E* G* pp Spsp
Parents:
Apollo (Pied Black M) x
Cassie (Pied Black F)
Notes: Thayna was a nice surprise — the second DPP I have owned, the first I have bred. The spots on a DPP are visible on the second or third day, when the coat color starts to emerge along with the spotting on the body. These spots are not a molting pattern and have been seen mostly on spotted animals only, although solid DPP could exist. More on this is listed on Julian of the NGS' Web site. As is typical of known DPP, she was spotted and had a dark asymmetrical patch on her hip. Her mate was Tigger, a mottled yellow fox.
