I think your confusion arises from the fact that you keep saying the paraglow is a sharp sunglow het boawoman caramel.

Think of it this way, for paradigm x dh sharp sunglow.

First ignore the hypo part and pretend it is a paradigm x het sharp breeding.
The paradigm's gene pair is a sharp gene and a boawoman caramel gene. The het sharp's gene pair is a sharp gene and a normal gene. When bred together, each baby gets one gene from each parent. So, the possibilities include:

1 sharp gene with 1 boawoman caramel gene = paradigm
1 sharp gene with 1 sharp gene = sharp albino
1 normal gene with 1 boa woman caramel gene = het caramel (normal looking)
1 normal gene with 1 sharp gene = het sharp (normal looking)

Now, in the first scenario, you produce the paradigm. Now add in the fact that one parent was hypo, and you have half of those being parglows (meaning hypo het sharp het caramel)

Hope that helps.

Matt
