So if I'm understanding this -- it's either a plicata OR an Emma Cook -- is that right? Which is confusing because in the example of horses given -- regardless of whether a horse is a Tobiano or an Overo -- he/she is STILL a paint. The designations are an indicator of which type of paint. And yes -- genes do determine which kind of paint a given horse is -- but an experienced person can look at the horse and know. This is not the case with Irises, if even the hybridizer does not know which he has produced? I feel like I'm missing something important........

For instance -- exactly what is Clothed In Glory?


Emma Cook or no?
