I think partial albino is an OK term, to distinguish it from a true albino, which would have no pigments at all and pink eyes and flesh. But PIEBALD is a term that is often used for these sorts of deer with pinto-esque patterns of brown and white; they run the gamut from nearly totally white to almost all normally coloured. And piebald deer are reported from most parts of the province, I believe.

This deer seems to have all the normal pigment around the eyes and nose, etc. All I meant by partially albino is that it is about 70% white. It looks a bit like my Australian Shepherd... merled. Anyway it's beautiful. Cheers, Ann
