>On the other hand, if the Black tails are Hypermelanistic, rather than Anerytheristic, we would have different results. In Blizzard breedings, for example, we might see albinos that are more white in appearance because the heavier concentration of Black in the Black tails would be removed in an albino, leaving more white. However, the lack of Anerytherism (if the Black Tail isn't an anery) would still leave red, so we would see Albinos that are high white, but we would not ever get a Blizzard.

I am inclined to disagree with this idea. I'd expect an albino hypermelanistic to look like the usual albinos rather than whiter than the usual albinos. In both, you'd be winding up with no black pigment.

I need to spend a lot of time digesting the main post. There is a lot of food for thought there.
