An animal is not co-dominant or dominant, the mutation it has is. According to your post you are classifying Supers (homozygous) as Dominant, which is in fact incorrect.

The Hypo mutation is dominant. Both the heterozygous and homozygous forms have the same phenotype. Better called an incomplete dominant mutation. The Hypo animals are either heterozygous or homozygous (labeled as non-super or super).

Arabesque is a dominant mutation, at this time. There still needs to be more breeding trials to prove this.

Motley is co-dominant. The heterozygous form is the Motley, the homozygous form is Patternless. In slang, the homozygous is the Super form.

Remember Heterozygous simply means that the animal only has ONE gene for the mutation, a matching pair would result in a homozygous animal.

This works for ALL genetic mutations, not just recessives.
