Buddy of mine has a cinny line that tends to throw ringers quite a bit, out of the 20 or so cinny offspring I have seen of his at least 5 of them had a ringer of some sort. His founding male doesn't have a ringer.

A complete guess, but I think the "ringer trait" might be a polygenetic trait like fader or whiteout and such. Just based off the seemly random nature of it. Never seen someone post data on it, we always seem to just say "it happens".

I hope his offspring have some sign of it. I love it. I guess weird things fascinate me

Well the one I have (previous post picture) as I have said is a black pewter yellow belly (Black pastel / Pastel / Yellow belly) not cinnamon. I know black pastel and cinnamon are very close though but they are very different. I highly doubt that it is the start of a ringer that didn't completely form because these faded patches are very common in pewters and never have I seen a pewter with a full blown ringer. It is just a pattern that is random, kind of like patches on a piebald, you never know where the patches will be and how much.

See, you say the word polygenetic, and now I have a burning desire to develop that and prove it out, lol.
