Couldn't find a matching button to fix my coat with, so I painted my girls face on a wooden button (infosec.pub)

I had one for many years but it is the first time I see one with lines instead of spots, that is why I was asking, thanks, it is lovely.

Yeah, I actually have no idea why she even has a stripe! Technically there is a recessive Genetic Stripe Mutation, but it looks pretty different to her, and the fact that her siblings had at least some slight striping suggests that it isn't a recessive gene causing this.

The breeder's best guess is that she has the GHI, Black Pastel and Lesser genes, with a 66% chance for het Clown and maaaybe Confusion. So the stripe might just be a side effect of those genes interacting!
