there is one misleading point:

F1 Hypos are technically considered "heterozygous" hypos

Untrue as a homozygous F1 hypo could be created from any two non sibling hypo's including two non sibling homozygous hypos!!



The filial (sp?) nomenclature is:

P1 original unrelated parent animals

F1 ofspring from that pairing (by definition, EVERY animal is at LEAST a F1)

F2 = offspring from two related (I interpret that as sibling) F1's

F3 = offspring from two related F2's

etc. etc.

ANY time you breed a Fx to an unrelated (non sibling) animal, both revert back to P1's
