The 100% DCA brings the chance of deviance from 10% to 100% if the parents and baby meet the requirements for deviance. So if you were to breed two Unicorns together and they both have homozygous Gray as the color, the baby will be a deviant. But say you breed two Unicorns and one is homozygous Gray and the other is Gray/Bay, then there is a 50% chance the baby will not meet the requirement to be a deviant, and as such the DCA may go to waste. Breeding a Unicorn with homozygous Gray with a Unicorn with homozygous Bay will result in a 0%chance of deviance and the DCA will have gone to waste. Breeding a Unicron with Gray/Bay with another with White/Bay will result in a 25% chance the baby will meet the requirement for deviance. So there's a good chance your DCA may go to waste.

So I highly recommend you wait until you have a pet with homozygous color and/or pattern and breed with a pet that is homozygous color, if that's what your pet has, or homozygous pattern if that is the case.

Also, if a species doesn't have deviants the DCA will have no effect.

So based on your pets, you should only use the DCA if Deveis (the Unicorn in your Random... tab) is homozygous for Buckskin and you breed her to a stallion that also has homozygous Buckskin. (Deviants with a Normal pattern don't display their deviance, so I wouldn't use the DCA if she has homozygous Normal.)
