This results in a Palomino with dun markings, (shown above), sometimes called a
"yellow dun" or more often, a "dunalino", which will look for the most part
like a Palomino, but have a distinct darker line down its back, darker lower
legs, and leg markings.
The filly on the left belongs to Marjena Bass in Florida. Her name is
Im Not Dun Struttin. She's a 2003 model and is registered with AQHA and IBHA as
a red dun.
The photo in the centeris of Joleen
B's filly by "Bud", out of a Chestnut QH mare, which is an
interesting dun story. "Bud" is Docs Matador - an AQHA cremello
dun. It's almost impossible to see dun markings on a cremello (dun
plus 2 cream genes on red), so offspring are often the only way to know for sure
if a cremello (double cream on red) is also a dun.
Joleen writes, "She finally shed
out on her legs and this is the result. You can also see the ear tips and face
masking. No question that she is dun or that 'Bud' carries dun."
The photo on the right of the 3 above is a dunalino stallion belonging to Donna
& Jeff Mixon of VooDoo Farm in
Florida. It shows ear barring, however light, can be visible on a
dunalino!
Dun + 1 cream gene on E_A_ (bay):
A Buckskin with a dun gene, (photos above), often called a
"dunskin" or a "buttermilk dun", will *tend* to be lighter
in body color than either a regular dun or a plain buckskin, and will have all the
dun markings in a darker color. At left, AQHA dunskin mare Me Smart 'n' Classy,
owned by list member Kat Lee of Carousel
Quarter Horses in OK.
Center and right pics are of AQHA dunskin filly Hollywood Tigerlilly, owned by
list member Liane.
Dun + 1 cream gene on E_aa (black):
Sorry, missing photo!
A smoky black with a dun gene is also called a
"smoky grulla". This one is verified; courtesy of Gerald & Shelia

Dun + 2 cream genes on E_A_ (bay):
  A Perlino with a dun gene may be even closer to
"white" in body color than most perlinos, and will usually show dun
markings in a similar color to a buckskin's body color, or lighter.
I believe the photo on the left is of Phantom, Alicia Crider's AQHA
mare. To its right, the markings on a perlino dun's leg.
Dun + 2 cream genes on ee (chestnut/sorrel/red):
A Cremello with a dun gene may or may not have
visible dun markings. In many cases only breeding the horse will indicate
whether the gene is present.
 Photo at left is OSO X, aka "Blue",
an AQHA stallion who was owned by Bonnie Brewer of this list and is now living
in Scandinavia.
