Some small white spots - indicate color producer?

[Jessi P]

I took a listing a couple days ago for a very nice, well mannered, liver chestnut stallion. He has some small white spots throughout his coat that his owner pointed out to me. She said that they were signs that he has a likelihood to throw some bling to offspring. Can anyone verify this? He also has the sabino lower lip and oh, did I mention - FOUR WHITE SOCKS! This guy is such a lovely stallion. The owner did say that he would need a course in Romance 101 if sold for breeding because he currently has absolutely no interest in mares - he is that well behaved.

I am hoping the color experts here can tell me if these small spots have any significance - I am clueless when it comes to color, other than sabino/rabicano.

Here are a few pics. For anyone interested in seeing more, his webshots album is at http://pets.webshots.com/album/580575773QyAKFL

His pedigree, for those interested - http://www.pedigreequery.com/el+quixote

Thanks for any information, color gurus!!

The small white spots are totally insignificant (Birdcatchers) but the leg white is not. Do you have a photo that shows his face marking?

Here is a pic with his face markings.

Yup, you can get some white from him. I don't think it's going to be loud white unless you bred him to other marked mares, but there's the possibility.

Just curious - what is it about his face markings that tells you that? She mentioned having the little dots bordering his stripe could indicate some color production. I am learning here.

I completely agree!

The spot on the chin can be a clue.
