It's going to be hard to tell what is and isn't exactly the same in this apparently related group just by looks.



I think one thing that has been helpful so far is the appearance of the homozygous animals from each line. The look of the crosses is interesting but the look of the pure supers from each line might be more informative. Admittedly there haven't been very many of them yet so maybe the sample size is too small to take too much from it. Also some of the assumed supers haven't been proven homozygous yet (for example the super phantoms) but its sure looking like there are some differences between the homozygous versions of some of the lines.



So, when Gail breeds two of her line of mojave together it will be interesting to see what that homozygous animal looks like. Will it closely resemble the TSK line supers or will it have its own flavor?



Until someone starts looking at the actual DNA we’ll just have to live with guesses based on appearance and breeding outcomes as to what sort of relationships there are between different lines.
