	What Champagne is/not...
		Champagne is ONE of the FOUR known dilution genes in horses!
		Champagne as a color gene has been around for a long time - but it's only recently (the past decade or so) been named and understood to be a separate gene.
		The Champagne gene seems to function in many ways aside from simply diluting a horse's coat color (as the Creme gene does) because it also affects skin and eye color.

	Champagne gene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The champagne gene is a gene that occurs in horses.
		A champagne horse must have at least one parent that is a champagne.
		Champagne horses are born with brown hooves, pink skin, and blue eyes.

	Equine Color Genetics
		The cream gene is an incomplete dominant, meaning it is always expressed when it's present, but it acts differently in its heterozygous (1 copy of the gene) and homozygous (2 copies of the gene) states.
		The roan gene acts by interspersing white hairs throughout a horse's coat, but the head, legs, mane, and tail remain "dark." This color is often confused with grey, but it should be noted that roan horses look the same throughout their lives while grey horses fade out to nearly white.
		Champagne combined with chestnut is called "gold," with bay is "amber," and with fl is "classic." Sometimes, champagne is combined with the cream gene as well, producing a color known as "ivory." It is known to act in conjunction with other dilution genes (i.e.

	Champange and Creme Dilution Genes
		A champagne foal is the color of its basecoat (fl, bay, or chestnut) at birth, with light blue or green eyes.
		Champagne diluted horses have a winter coat that is a few shades darker than their summer coat.
		An ivory champagne horse is a horse with one crème dilution gene and one champagne dilution gene - basically, the horse is heterozygous champagne and heterozygous creme.

	Champagne
		Champagne is the name of a dilution gene, and the term champagne is often used as a sort of generic term to refer to any horse with the Champagne gene regardless of shade.
		A palomino cannot produce a champagne foal (from a non-champagne mate), because the two colors are caused by different genes.
		Champagne dilutes both red pigment and fl pigment -- the red changes to a golden color, and the fl changes to a sort of light chocolate brown.

	Champagne Colors
		This exotic and rare Champagne colored horses truly has an appropriate name that fits the sparkle of fine champagne wines, which is known for the varieties of colours, and makes it a time for celebrating a new found colored horse.
		Champagne gene acting on one or two genes on the chestnut, or sorrel, base color.
		The genes are called crème genes, which makes the horse's base color one, or two, shades lighter depending whether one or two genes are inherited.

	The Champagne Gene
		The champagne gene is a dominant dilution gene, first documented worldwide in 1996 by Dr. Philip Sponenberg, Ph.D., and Dr. Ann Bowling, Ph.D. While the champagne gene did exist prior to this, it was often misidentified.
		However, the champagne gene is distinctly separate from the cream gene (palomino, buckskin, etc.) and the dun gene (grullo, dun, etc.).
		The gene causes red pigment to be diluted to gold, and fl pigment to be diluted to chocolate.

		Champagne is the fourth dilution, which dilutes both red and fl pigment.
		Ivory champagne is a term used to describe a champagne with a cream dilution gene-- a palomino or buckskin with champagne.
		Since the term Ivory champagne can be somewhat misleading as there are many different dilution combinations, it is best to call the horses by 'proper' terms, such as 'palomino champagne' for a horse with a Cr and Ch gene, or "amber dun" for an amber champagne with a dun gene.

		The Champagne gene is a dominant dilution gene.
		The traits of the champagne horse are the mottling or freckles that appear around the eyes, on the muzzle, on the sheath area or udder and under the tail.
		It is becoming easier to distinguish the champagne horse from the others as the champagne gene must be present from one of the parents.

	Champagnes
		Although at first glance they may appear similar to a palomino, buckskin, or grulla, the gene is completely separate and different from the Cream or Dun genes that cause those colours.
		A palomino cannot produce a champagne foal (from a non-champagne mate), because the two colours are caused by different genes.
		Champagne dilutes both red pigment and fl pigment -- the red changes to a golden colour, and the fl changes to a sort of light chocolate brown.

		The champagne allele dilutes fl pigment to shades of chocolaty brown and red pigment to shades of yellow.
		The action of the champagne allele on fl has been termed "classic champagne", champagne on bay as "amber champagne" and champagne on red as "gold champagne".
		While the champagne allele is believed to have long been in existence it is only since 1996 that the color has been recognized as a separate gene and documented by D. Phillip Sponenberg, DVM, PhD, in his book, Equine Color Genetics.

	Horse Color Genetics that YOU can understand Genetics is a scientific theory
		The recessive genes are much harder to trace and can typically only be recognized if two horses breed and have a foal that has 2 of the recessive genes -- for example the curly gene in foxtrotters can be recessive - it could show up at any time when breeding 2 non-curly horses.
		If you understand how the genes are passed on, you should also be able to understand that when someone says that a horse produces 80% champagnes when bred to non-champagnes - it is only a matter of luck, not a matter of genetics.
		With a dominant gene the horse is going to pass that gene on 50% of the time, if the horse carries 2 of the dominant genes (homozygous) they will pass each gene on 50% of the time (2 x 50%) and therefore produce that gene in 100% of the offspring.

		Double dilute horses receive a cream gene from each parent which means that both parents must be either a single dilute (buckskin, palomino, smoky fl, cream champagne) or a double dilute (perlino, cremello or smoky cream) in order to contributes a cream gene to the foal.
		All champagne foals regardless of color are born with pink skin and blue eyes which change to hazel or amber or in the cream champagne to green/gray with flecks around the edge of the eye.
		All champagnes are born dark as their base color and then lighten to the champagne dilution when they shed the foal coat.

		Striker is, genetically, a bay horse with one champagne gene and one tobiano (spotting) gene.
		The Champagne gene is relatively rare and creates pink freckled skin, light eyes (blue at birth that change to green, then hazel), and often a metallic sheen to the coat.
		It is thought that the same gene which lightens the skin, hair, and eyes of a champagne also makes the hair hollow, which allows light to pass through and creates the glowing look that many champagnes have.

	Ivory Champagne
		The classification “Ivory” refers to the addition of the crème (a.k.a.: palomino, buckskin) dilution gene to the Champagne gene.
		When a horse has a champagne dilution gene (or 2) in addition to a crème gene, the coat and point colors are diluted to an even lighter shade than with champagne alone while the different base coat colors (of bay, fl, or chestnut) still yield distinctly different results!
		It appears that ivory Champagnes are born with the same pink skin and blue eyes as other Champagnes, and their foal coats appear to be similar to the non-champagne base-color, just the same as the foal coats of the other shades of Champagne.

		The Dominant Genes are much easier to understand than the combinations of fl, bay and chestnut and I highly recommend that if you are looking for an introduction to basic genetics you first read the article Dominant Genes.
		You could have a tobiano roan palomino or a horse that has the cream gene, the champagne gene and the silver dapple gene (would be rare, but possible).
		The recessive genes are typically represented by a small letter ("a") and the dominant gene are represented by a capital letter ("A").

		It is a bit similar to the creme gene and was originally confused with it in some cases.
		Unlike creme, an incomplete dominant, champagne is a simple dominant gene; horses carrying two copies look the same as horses with one copy.
		Gold champagne used to be known as "pink-skinned palomino" because it was believed to be caused by the creme gene.

	Cream gene - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dun color is produced by a separate dun gene that acts upon a base coat color to produce a different form of color dilution, along with distinctive markings.
		The cream gene is an "incomplete dominant" gene, which means that it is expressed to some degree even when there is only one copy of the gene--it is dominant--but it expresses itself even more when there are two copies (one from each parent).
		Depending on the genes carried by the other parent, a single dilute, such as a Palomino, can be born with blueish brown eyes and pinkish skin that darkens after birth, or may be born with dark eyes and skin.

	Ok, What do I expect from this breeding??????? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Champagne gene is dominant, so it will be expressed whether the horse has one copy of the gene or 2.
		If both of the parents are heterozygous (carry one copy of the gene) for champagne, you have a 25% chance of getting a chestnut, a 50% chance of a heterozygous champagne, and a 25% chance of a homozygous champagne.
		Since the champagne gene does not seem to be different in appearance if the horse has one copy or two copies of the gene the only way to know if an individual is homozygous is test breeding.

		Black with one cream gene is known as smokey fl - often they appear to be fl, and the existence of their cream gene is known only when they inexplicably produce a palomino foal when put to a chestnut.
		Champagne is a dilute similar in appearence to cream, but again with several distinguishing markers.
		Champagne is similar to homozygous cream (cremello) in that it dilutes both skin and hair pigment, but differs in that heterozygous cream dilutes only hair and not skin.
