Over the last couple of days I have seen several references to an animal being het for bloodred. I thought that bloodred was not a simple recessive trait but rather the result of generations of selective breeding. I have never really been into bloodreds so it is entirely possible that I have just misunderstood their genetics but can an animal be truly het for bloodred in the strictest sense of the word? Just curious. Thanks for the help.
