I think you misunderstood my post. I am not saying don't name it whatever you want to name it. Its entirely up to you in that regards. I am simply saying that you are applying names to something when you have not got an understanding of the genetics. Are these variants of a recessive trait, or are they variants of an incomplete dominant in the heterozygous condition. By naming something that may be one trait various prefixes, extreme, total, etc, you are being entirely subjective. So, what you call an extreme may be called a wipeout, or total wipeout by someone else. By calling it a wipeout, we all know what it is. If there is a super form, assuming it is an incomplete dominant trait, then that could be the extreme or total wipeout. Does that make sense? Simply adding too many names to something that is at present unknown in terms of genetics, and will ultimately be used by different breeders differently.

Once again ,great animals.
