Yes but there are still a number of spotting patterns that mimic eachother
enough that it can become confusing- which is the kind of "puzzling out" I
find so interesting. For example, the Blazed Berkshire H/h + minor spotting
modifiers is easilly confused with H/H W/- and no modifiers, which peopel in
my area call huskies. Theres three known genotypes for "capped" as well!
