Mike - do the hets that you are breeding carry the "marker"?
I ask because my normals that have awesome het markers will pass it along to at least 50% of their offspring no matter what I breed them to. It's not a scientific study by any means but it does appear that the "marker" is genetic and may just be a phenotype that was early on bred into the pied lines and may not have anything to do with the pied gene.
It would be interesting if we could find a pair of hets that had no trace of the "marker" in their bloodline and see if they would produce markered offspring.
Personally I don't believe in the marker - but if I were looking to buy from a batch of possibles - yeah I'd choose the one with the marker belly - just in case - I certainly wouldn't buy based solely on the marker attribute.
