Gene Question - Leopard?

How does the leopard gene work? I'm looking to breed horses with the leopard pattern, and so I'm wondering if the Leopard gene being present in a horse means they can produce a leopard patterned foal, or if they sometimes can only produce a Varnish roan, or blanket appaloosa, etc.
Lplp or LpLp with Patn1patn1 is what you want for Leopard.
Lplp or LpLp with no patn1 or patn2 will always be a Varnish Roan
Lplp with Pant1patn1 is Leopard
Lplp with Patn1Patn1 is Leopard
LpLp with Patn1patn1 is Fewspots
LpLp with Patn1Patn1 Fewspots
Lplp with Patn2patn2 is Varnish Blanket
Lplp with Patn2Patn2 is Varnish Blanket
LpLp with Patn2patn2 is Snowcap
LpLp with Patn2Patn2 is Snowcap
Oh whoa, thank you so much for taking the time to explain that Middy! I didn't realize it was that complicated... 😳 Guess I have my work cut out for me haha
I can never rembember these either lol. I use the design lab for a preview of what to breed for.
Missing a few combos :)

This complexity is why I enjoy breeding Appies so much! :D
