No. Dapple grays aren't born dapple, they get dapples as they grow older. Most dapple grays were grey/white when they were born.

In Gulliver's Travels did Dapple Grey propose that the yahoos be castrated instead of exterminated?

No. In a conversation with the Dapple-Gray about the detestable Yahoos, Gulliver suggests that the Houyhnhnms exterminate the Yahoos through the benevolent use of castration. The Dapple-Gray then brought the idea before the Grand Assembly. Yes, the Dapple-Gray did suggest castration, but it was originally Gulliver's idea (from his experience with horses in England) and it was suggested as a means for annihilating the Yahoos. They would castrate the Yahoos and let them slowly die out, thus exterminating them.

What color foal will you get if both parents are grey?

Grey is a genetically dominant color in horses, so one parent must be grey. You increase your odds of getting grey by breeding 2 greys together. A homozygous grey can only produce (mares) or sire (stallions) grey foals. Most greys will have dappling at younger ages, but many become white or a flea bitten grey as they get older.


How to tell if a dachshund is dapple?

A dachshund is a dapple if it has silver and black dots. Most dapples have silver hair also. There are two types of dapple, sliver dapple which is sliver or gray with black spots and a chocolate dapple which is a spotted mix of browns and tans. The chocolate ones can be either real dark in color or a lighter tan with darker spots. If you have a dapple with white on it, the white is called pie and a sliver dapple with brown on it, the brown is called bald. My 4 yr old male is considered a sliver dapple pie bald with sky blue eyes.
