Yes, it appears to be incomplete dominant. The original Candy Stripes (Ziggy and Zoe) are siblings that came from a girl here in San Jose. She produced a litter in 2007 from two animals that were individual craigs list purchases so untraceable. Several babies in that litter had dorsal striping and I picked out a pair of the nicest looking ones. Before she could produce another litter she lost both original parents (long story there)

Last year was Ziggy and Zoe's first pairing and that produced the Super Candy Stripes, Candy Stripes and normals. I kept the whole litter. So far there are only four Supers on the planet and they are only one year old. I kept that whole litter and am raising them up to breed.

I now have the "second" litter on the ground between Ziggy and a unrelated Hypo female. Two of five babies show the candy stripe and of course are also het Hypo. Still fitting the Incomplete Dominant model!!! More breeding trials to come...
