I spoke with them at Daytona, and as of yet, the final breedings of a het to het, and a het to Squaretail have NOT been done by them. I believe they are doing that this coming season. I was also under the impression the ones in Germany slugged out. Now I could be wrong about that one, I am just repeating what I heard. When it did not turn out to be dominant like every one first thought it would, a few years ago, it was then ASSUMED to be recessive, and somewhat proven by the production of Squares from breeding siblings together, but like I said, the het to het breedings have not been done yet to produce visable squaretails. So in my book, it still has not been COMPLETELY proven, just assumed that it will prove out. They were only first produced in Germany in '02 so there has not been enough time to do ALL the breedings to finish proving it out.



If you find out something other than this, Please let me know.

Like I said, I really am interested in finding out if anyone has successfully bred a het to het or even a het to squaretail.
