Yep!

I bet the whites you had were recessive white. You would need dominant white birds.

You can always get into Dalmatians later!

You’re welcome. I kept having to refer people to a blue, black and splash chart and have them replace the verbiage with wheaten, blue wheaten and splash wheaten. Figured this would be more helpful.

Also, in 2024 we will begin keeping up with yearly totals again for those that care. We have always kept up with total points but when I trained on the secretarial processes yearly totals were not brought to my attention. Total points are correct.

This is very helpful and much easier to understand with the pictures and numbers.
Thanks for making this.

So your saying all you need to make the dalmatian is a pure black and a dominant white? And I got rid of my whites because I had no females. And I could have been making dalmatians? This post came about a year too late for me.
