Meet the Panda Pied

[charliegirl]

So, in my search for a pied, I ran across this guy... Never seen anything like it before, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.

What are the genetics on that thing? Looks like he drew on a BEL with a sharpie. lol.

Yeah it was really cool to see it in person, $23,000.

It's certainly unique but not my cup of tea. Might look better if it's low white or have some alteenating pattern like a... zebra?

What'd you guys think?

I just looked that up and found this:

First:

Black Pastel x Pied - 50% chance of a Black Pastel het pied

Then:

Black Pastel het pied x Black Pastel het pied - 1/16 chance of a Panda Pied.

While I think it's cool that the breeder was able to get something like that, it isn't my cup of tea either. Definitely different, though, which is why I couldn't resist the urge to share! What I want to know is how the heck it came out with a white head!

I like it but I would LOVE it if it had more black, 50/50 would have been better.
