Is the true,"typical" amel strain,and the Sharp is something different.I produced some 50% poss.het Sharps,and I looked through those,(I admit,I don't have a good grasp on what it is I'm looking for with the Kahl marker though.) I looked at some of the Harlequins too,twice they have produced albinos when they "shouldn't have",so naturally I'm curious about that because if the one I just bred this year IS a het,(and not just a fluke,or freak occurance.)it would theoreticlly mean that I have been producing possible hets for Kahl strain for the last nine years,and never knew it.(?)it would also mean that the patternless animals could be poss. hets,since the female that threw albinos this year was a sibling to the sire of the patternless litter...recently,in Europe a breeder proved an imported albino to be compatible with the Kahl strain,this leads me to believe that this strain has a common genetic denominator that may exist naturally in certain populations from Colombia,even today. I've yet to hear of any imports being compatible with the Sharp strain,but that doesn't mean the same couldn't hold true,it may be that animals from that particular race,or locality,just haven't found their way into the right hands,or breeding situations?
