DoubleDilute.Com is the home of the Cremello
and Perlino Educational Association. Cremello and Perlino horses
are known as "double
dilutes",
horses which received two copies of the same creme dilution
gene that creates palomino and buckskin colors with a single
copy. They are just like any other normal, solid colored horse.
DoubleDilute.Org's purpose is to educate the public and the
equine professional about the cremello and perlino coloration,
and to promote the appreciation of these colors (and, by association,
the palomino, buckskin, smoky black and smoky cream colors,)
in all breeds of horses. |

If you ever had a hard time answering the question,
"What are Dun genes?", you need to check out DunGenes.Org.
From the 4 basic Dun colors, different markings, combinations,
and composites, there is a mountain of information
about "dun" coloring traits on this web site. Another must-see. |

Did you know that a pet can considerably reduce
the amount of stress in your life? Animals can be there for you
in ways that people sometimes can’t. They can be good listeners,
have the funniest antics, and above all, give you unconditional
love and loyalty. As such, it’s only fitting that devote a
category to them. This section explores the wonderful world of
our furry (and scaly) friends. |
