Pinstripe

What Pinstripe looks like

Thin dorsal stripe pattern

Dominant pattern mutation producing thin, pin-like stripes and dramatically reduced lateral pattern with enhanced warm coloration. The pattern is reduced to thin lines and the overall coloration shifts toward copper and gold. One copy produces full visual expression. The super form (Super Pinstripe) is debated. Some breeders report subtle differences from single-gene Pinstripe, but the distinction is not dramatic enough for reliable visual identification. Modeled as simple dominant based on the inability to reliably distinguish het from super.

How to identify it: Thin pin-like pattern elements replacing normal blotches. Warm copper/gold coloration. Clean sides with reduced lateral pattern. Distinctive thin dorsal stripe.

How Pinstripe is inherited

Pinstripe follows a dominant inheritance pattern, carried on the Pinstripe allele (locus Pinstripe).
