Color Genetics & Testing

Nuksay carries a powerful combination of color-producing genetics while maintaining a clean health profile.

Color Panel:

E/E – Homozygous Black

a/a – Non-Agouti (will only produce black-based foals)

nd1/nd2 – Non-Dun (no dun dilution)

n/LP – Heterozygous for Leopard Complex (one copy)

PATN1/PATN1 – Homozygous for Pattern-1 gene

This means that while Nuksay is n/LP, his homozygosity for PATN1 dramatically enhances expression of Appaloosa coat patterns, especially when crossed with LP-carrying mares.

6-Panel Genetic Health Testing:

N/N for all major inherited disorders:

GBED

HERDA

HYPP

PSSM1

IMM

This genetic profile ensures both visual appeal and peace of mind when breeding for sound, healthy, and visually striking Foundation Appaloosa foals.
