Gregg, your example is naïve. To outbreed is the long way to achieve a desired goal. I took the direct way and I did achieve the desired goal. To make double hets, you need another morph, as mentioned, there WERE none. and Are none to this date.
What would the goal be in making hets. You or they have not offered a single compelling reason to outbreed for hets. If you or anyone would have supplied me with another type of morph(female), then heck yes, I would have attempted to breed it to a axanthic male. again, what was not the reality. This whole het thing is BS. At this time, as there are no other morphs(not here anyway) My son has an albino western, want me to make hets from her????????? I think not. I may do that if no other morphs pop up, say in ten years, if I am still kicking.
So lets stay in reality Gregg. I worked my arse off and found a group. There is no reason on earth to make more work then needed. Another reality, all the while I was doing this, so were many others and they did not have my luck/skill/persistence(hahahahahahaha) So the demand that I take the hard way is bluntly, stupid. The goal, produce Mexican axanthics, the result, Mexican axanthics. The immediate future, work that group. Until another morph pops up. That's what its going to be. I have two other females that will be adult next year, that black and white and that yellow. At some point, they will be bred into the axanthics. One maybe next year, or maybe on their second clutches or third.
I would rather talk about that yellow hog I raised up. I would rather prove it out, line breed it, etc. What would you do with it. Your opinion would be valuable and considered with her. She does pose a problem. I could breed her to a white axanthic male, or a dark axanthic male Or a super lite normal male. What would you do? I don't have another yellow male. I wish I did. If indeed I locate one, I will use him.
