Hi! I have had Rin (my Nigerian dwarf buck) for 3 years.
I was looking through the adga website for the first time today and I was looking at Rin’s pedigree. I wanted to see what color his parents were, just for fun, and in both his parents descriptions it said they were moonspotted? From my knowledge, if both parents have moonspots then the kid defined will, right?
Rin is black with minimal white and has no Moonspots from what I can see. He has thrown 9 kids since we’ve had him and none of them had moonspots (then again, we never looked for moonspots). Now, on his dads pedigree, both Rin’s grand sire and grand dam don’t have moonspots in their description, although, His grand dam is “black & white spotted” so I’m guessing they just made a mistake and Rin’s dad isn’t moonspotted?
Did the owner(s) of his parents just make a mistake and THINK their goats had moonspots when they really didn’t?
Does my goat have moonspots and I just don’t know? If so, how had he not had moonspotted kids?
Is my knowledge wrong about moonspots and he’s not guaranteed moonspots, even though both his parents have them?
(we never saw Rin’s parents, we met halfway with the owner to pick him up.)
