Talk about a lack of understanding. Axanthism is simply a lack of yellow pigment. Whether it's inherited as a recessive trait, dominant, or co-dominant has nothing to do with it. Axanthism can and is also inherited in a polygenetic fashion, through the selection of animals from a particular location because mother nature favors a lack of yellow for whatever reason. His animals clearly lack yellow, so they are axanthic. The type of inheritance is certainly of interest, but it absolutely does not reflect whether they are axanthic or not. You might consider getting your own facts strait.
