The one real problem is figuring out what you have.



If you take Brian's statement that it was done and got nothing but normals (BTW, I heard this directly from Brian in phone conversations we've had) as true, then it's fair to say the genes are not compatible.



If you agree with the genes being incompatible, then breeding would follow standard DH rules EXCEPT all the phenotypes are merged into two possible phenotypical outcomes, albino (unknown strain) or normal poss hets for either or both. In numbers, out of a litter of 16 if punnet square exactly followed (as if that'd ever happen)...



One other assumption, that you could not tell the kahl's and sharps apart from each other and that the double albino also was indistinguishable from the rest.





1 Kahl and Sharp combined albino

2 Kahl albino, het sharp

1 Kahl albino

2 Sharp albino het Kahl

1 Sharp albino

9 normals 66$ het Kahl and 66% het sharp



But, if you couldn't tell the albino's apart, then it'd be

7 albinos some kahl, some sharp and one both

9 normals





The real problem comes in proving out and finding the double strain albino and the multitude of unknown status babies that would produce. You would have to breed each of the 7 albinos twice to prove it's status, once to a Kahl and once to a Sharp. Againif all went perfectly according the punnet with litters of 16 you would have...



48 Kahl albino het sharp

32 Kahl albino pos het sharp

16 het kahl pos het sharp

32 DH kahl/sharp

16 het sharp pos het kahl

32 sharp albino pos het kahl

48 sharp albino het kahl



All that and you've only produced and proven one kahl/sharp albino. (240 babies later)
