[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 755302, member: 4353"] Ace, pigment around the eye plays almost no role in the prevention of pink eye, the eyeset , -brows and -lashes are far more important. BUT the popular believe is that it it prevents every problem you van think of so why not give them what they like? Pigment especially on the lower eyelid plays a role in the prevention of skin cancer caused by UV radiation, but again the total package is more important. I believe that the darker the red the pinker the white skin is, those really pink eyes is what causes problems here, if the unpigmented skin is a more yellowish cream colour its just as good as red pigment in my opinion. How much white is on the legs or how long the featherneck plays no role at all in breeding problem free eyes. There are more functional traits to worry about than petty things such as markings. As long as it is within the acceptable original breed standards it is good enough for me. [/QUOTE]
