    Is Major a normal?

    I bought a BP a few weeks ago and was told he is a normal het pied. My cousin has said he isn't a normal as he is far too light and don't have patterns that normals have. The pictures aint perfect as he wouldn't stay still to get a decent pic. Could someone please tell me if he is normal or not? If you need any other pics of him, just let me know and i will try and take some. Thanks in advance.

    Pictures are very blurry but he looks like he might be a browned out pastel. What color are the eyes?

    Looks like a browned out pastel to me. Double check his eyes, they should be green.

    Certainly not green. I will try and take a clearer pic of them.

    Definitely at least a Pastel.

    If he was purchased as a Normal het Pied and the "Normal" part is in question (which it is), I would be questioning the "het Pied" part as well if I were in your shoes. Just some food for thought.

    I have heard that it is difficult to know if a BP is het pied or not. I hear about "tram lines" on the tail, but i'm not sure what they look like. How can i find out? I don't have the guys number who i bought him off.

    You can post a picture of his belly towards the tail end and we can help point them out to you (if they are there).

    Realistically, the "tram lines" (or "train tracks") are not a guarantee of anything. Both het Pieds and non-het Pieds are capable of showing these same markers. Seeing them would make me feel better about the animal I bought as a Normal het Pied though.
