A bloodline known to throw an extremely wide range of pattern aberrancies and seems to be a very mysterious "trait" that we can't/haven't figured out ... what are the chances that when this bloodline is outcrossed for the first time from an F3 breeding to a normal that the NORMAL throws a spontaneous mutation. Think about the odds here. How many normals are out there producing? How many are throwing patternless mutations? Answer those questions and youll have yourself a mathmatical odd. Now flip it around, what are the chances that a trait that we are still trying to understand that throws an extremely wide range of aberrancies (look up the word aberrant) would throw a patternless. Much higher I would contend. Im not saying anything caused anything... just trying to look at it from a logical standpoint. I dont see anything wrong with insinuating that if you have harlequin blood there is the potential that you could reproduce the patternless trait ... because thats true, the potential is there. It could be from the harlequin bloodline. To call them, like Tim said, het patternless or something like that... or to claim that for sure they will be able to throw patternlesses is outright wrong.
