Ok, I know this is an old thread but I have a BEW question and sm hoping you can help.

I just did a test breed of BEW x possible VC now my BEW had 7 kits sire was a magpie vc. Every kit appears to have magpie markings, as no kit appears to be BEW does this confirm him to be normal magpie and not VC or should I rebreed to confirm.

I know it should be 50% chance BEW but I also know genetics can be fickle, just because you toss a coin 10 times doesnt mean you cant get heads every time.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Dutch and VM are different genes

I know but how do you tell the difference between a missmarked dutch and a high white VM?
