I understand your wearyness about it all (I am a big advocate of providing all known information when selling animals in this market.)
but ....

In your story, if the Leopard was bred to the Sharp albino 50% het Kahl, then the offspring would be 100% Sharp no matter what. You wouldnt have the issue of getting no Sharp genes and mistakenly getting a Kahl gene because if they are not compatable (which would be why we would be dealing with double het albinos in the first place) they would pass on just as any other non compatable trait such as anery and leopard.

The problem arrises when you breed the offspring together. In my eyes at this point you have done all the breeding yourself (you didnt acquire the animals after the leopard gene was introduced) and you should be aware of the genetics and know what you have the possiblity of producing and there for should acquire a new partner (double het albino/sharp).

I dont have either mutation to look at either, but I can usually tell which strain it is when looking at pictures.

Now I am not refuting your argument that it would not be the best of situations as you have proven that it wouldnt be. I was just making the point that it wouldnt be the worst outcome in the world.
