I have spoken with them personally on the matter (multiple times) as well as Gray Rushin.

There are phenotypes (traits) that the bloodline throws... fairly sporadicly... its not pinned down... it may not be able to be pinned down (who knows)... therefore we cannot define parameters for it at this point, meaning we cant say a certain phenotype or look is a harlequin while another isnt. So they are all labeled as harlequin, with "bloodline" being implied. When you buy a "harlequin" out there you are purchasing a harlequin bloodline animal... there are no guarantees for it to throw patternlesses... aberrancies... etc. I believe fairly normal looking harlequins have thrown some extremely aberrant offspring, so how could we pin down a specific look that throws these traits? We cant. Maybe one day certain things can be isolated and figured out but at this point thats where we are at with it.
