here is where it is important to label things properly, Striped, het Stripe, or Stripeline.
The Stripe mutation is recessive. So to get all STRIPES, both parents have to be STRIPED.
If you bred a DH Striped Albino to an Albino you would get Albinos, Albinos het Stripe, DH Striped Albinos, and Het Albinos. You would not be able to determine which animals have the Striped gene and which do not. This means who is het, and who is not.
The Stripe mutation seems to influence the BLOODLINE, so ALL babies from this pairing I would consider Stripeline (Others may not). This is also why it is VERY important to say what the parents were.
Albinos 100% het Stripe, and Striped Albinos were the first to be noticed to have the color associated with the bloodline. Tom Burke is an exceptional example of a breeder who used the bloodline as part of selective breeding. His High Contrast Albinos are not het Stripe, but they are traceably related to the bloodline.
