I belive that the colour we call uls or white dun is the dilute version of
brown dun.
That is what I get from Spoonenburgs article also.
'Lysbrun' which (probably) means light brown (dun) is just a lighter
version of brown dun. This colour is nowadays the most common Fjord horse
colour, but these horses are not carrying the C-gene.
If you breed an uls dun to another dilute colour you should have a chance
- or risk - of getting a real cremello or perlino dun (there should be a
third variety, based on the smokey black colour. It's called 'sotvit' in
Swedish, I don't know the English name), BUT shouldn't these have blue
eyes? Breeding a dilute horse to another teoretically should give you 50%
dilute (buckskin, palomino, smokey black or uls, red or 'smokey grey' dun)
25% non-dilutet (chestnut, bay, black/red, brown, grey dun) and 25%
cremellos or perlinos.
There is a cremello or 'kvit' colt on the NFHR web page - what colours do
his parents have?
That would be FG Luna his parents are both Uls or white Dun. Here is a
link to his pedigree:
