Zeus is Homozygous cream which means he will pass that cream to his offspring every time, no matter what the mare's color is. He is Heterozygous for the Dun gene--he will has a 50% chance of passing it, he either will or won't in one particular breeding.

None of those are recessive colors. A horse either is and expresses it, or is not. This colt is a perlino so he WILL pass on his cream gene 100% of the time. He is heterozygous for dun, so he has a 50% chance of passing that on as well. As far as champagne goes, he would have to be tested for that since it's almost impossible to see champagne traits on a cremello or perlino, but if one of his parents also carries the champagne gene, he has a 50% chance of having that as well.

a) A perlino is a double dilute and will throw cream 100% of the time. One of his parents was dun, so he is heterozygous for the dun gene (Dd). A 50% chance is not accurate, it would be 25% if the dam did not carry dun.

b) A perlino can carry the dun gene, as a perlino is a bay horse with two copies of the cream gene. Bays can carry dun, so yes you can breed a perlino dun. Double dilutes can also carry the champagne gene without expressing it, so this horse could throw a champagne foal.

I have two comments for you based off of your video info:

a) How does one throw cream 100% of the time and still have a 50% chance of dun?

b) It is not possible to be dun, perlino, and champagne at the same time. Those coats are based off of three very different color dilutions.
