BeeFernandez22 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 My baby CAG has one white toenail. I never thought anything of it, just thought it was kinda cool because it was always easy to tell which was mine. In regular reading just now I read something about this meaning they carry a "pied gene". I tried to figure out what in the world that meant, and couldn't find anything in lingo that I really could make sense of. Can anyone shed any light on this? I just thought my baby was special Haha..

judygram Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Your baby is special because it is yours but occasionally there is a white toenail just like sometimes some greys have some red feathers on them, I don't know what causes this but it serves as another identifying marker that your baby is yours, kind of like a "birthmark" as many of us have.

Timbersmom Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Timber (TAG) has a red feather on his neck. I didn't think about it being like a birthmark, but I suppose it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianlinkles Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Dorothy has one white toenail and another that is sort of half white. I was told that when that happens they have the red factor gene. She also has sort of a group of white feathers in the center of her tail (underneath) close to her body, I was told that this is another tell tale sign. I'm truly not sure if this is true, just what I have been told and read. I'ts funny there is a baby male cag at the breeder that I have fallen in love with, I didn't even notice until the breeder said something but he has white toenails too. I keep picking those (wonder what that means!! LOL) I wish I could bring him home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeFernandez22 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yes, something about the red factor gene was mentioned in what I read but, again, it was all pretty "technical" and genetics are pretty hard to understand even with my extensive biology background so I didn't quite understand it. I was just curious. Makes no difference to me what color toes they have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
