breeding preference is if you want to put your equine up for stud/brood and will only let it breed to certain breeds.
price is how much members will pay you to get a foal from your equine.

answer:
A sorrel foal must get 2 alleles for sorrel from both mom and dad because the red/sorrel gene is recessive, which means it needs 2 alleles to show. If the foal had 1 allele for gray-dun and 1 allele for sorrel, the foal would only be gray-dun because the dominant allele dominates the recessive allele.

edit: There have been no recorded cases of a sorrel donkey with the spotting gene.

answer: Sorrel/chestnut is recessive to non-chestnut. The usual donkey nomenclature calls red donkeys "sorrel" rather than chestnut,
but this is a similar genetic mechanism to that in horses. This specific genetic switch is easiest to observe in Mammoths,
where the usual choices are black and sorrel. Blacks include two types: homozygous and incapable of producing sorrel, and
heterozygous and capable of producing black or sorrel. Sorrels are of only one type - homozygous. The take-home message is
that sorrels can pop up as surprises out of black to black matings. Non-sorrel animals that have a sorrel parent or have
produced a sorrel foal MUST carry sorrel, and might be useful in a breeding program geared at producing sorrels. At least
some Mammoth Jack breeders note that in a given line of breeding with both colors the sorrels tend to be heavier boned
(some would say coarser) than the black ones.
