The main reason I ask is that I have been researching what genetics may be behind this phenomenon and was thinking it may be the same type of gene that produces calico cats. If this were the case males would be extremely rare and if there were a male it would most likely be sterile. All 4 of the Paradox Sunglows from my litter this year are female, however the high slug could could also contribute to that. I have been engulfing myself in genetics lately and cannot get enough of it. There are so many possibilities for this trait including partial parthenogenesis. I have a long 3 year wait to speculate before breeding trials can begin so I guess time will tell. Thanks Vinnie
