If you look at the spotting patterns of the Irish Spotting gene, it more closely resembles the patterning of the Biewers. White legs, white tummy, white tip of tail, white going up the neck to the chin, color on the back. The Piebald gene creates a more random patterning, like the Parti where the Irish spotting is basically very uniform.
