After I posted, I noticed I should've gone back and used "homozygous" in place of "dominant" hypo.. Hypos ARE a dominant mutation, not recessive or co dominant.. I used the incorrect term for describing "co dominant" instead of het hypo because that is the commonly understood term for implying the trait will be passed to hypothetically 1/2 of the litter in the same way heterozygous simple recessive animals do.. I felt it would be easier to understand considering the original poster didn't understand that het hypos were heterozygous for the dominant, homozygous hypo.. Again, "regular hypos" are "hets" because they are not distinguishable among their "homozygous/dominant/super" littermates, the same way simple recessive hets are not distinguishable among their wild type appearing littermates...
