Ohhhh recessive genes.
I once told a kid that my parents were black and I was white because I inherited recessive genes. He totally believed me.

i wonder if they're albino. it doesn't look like it, because they have pigment in their noses and eyes. either way, they're crazy gorgeous.

Nope, not albinos - eyes would be red if they were.

They are not albino. Just white. Same thing for white German shepherds, actually.
I also go to college right next to them, in Geneva, NY.
They are sooo cute to drive past! They don't hide because they have nothing to worry about.

Seneca County? Buh?! That's where I live and I had never known... though seeing as how they're fenced off like that it makes sense. Absolutely beautiful... I do hope they'll make it a reserve. So much of the natural wetlands here are in danger.

*makes a note to take a drive down that way when the weather warms up*
