Look at things a bit differently than what is often considered "marketplace standard",(I guess,is a good way to put it...*lol*)I don't believe the Arab trait "is" co-dominant,I believe it will prove to be a form of just plain old dominant,like the "hypo" or salmon trait....if you breed an animal thought to be some form of dominant,and you consistantly get roughly a 50/50 split,expressive & "normals"...that trait carrier is "heterozygous" for that trait,if you get roughly 100%,(or there-abouts) that's your "super",(or in plain old genetic terms:"homozygous" )the Arabs I've seen pictures of,that are thought to be possible "supers",are not phenotypically different from the originally described examples,they could best be described as "exagerated" in expression,just like "super hypos" are often exagerated in appearence from the hets in a given litter containing both,but ultimately they need to be bred to ascertain their true status,whereas a true co-dominant mutation produces a homozygous form that is distinct from both the hets,and the normals.(so most people look at a het hypo,and say "co-dom",I contend that the trait consistantly proves there's no such thing.) I might need one of those beers?
