I think everybody is in agreement that this throws a really weird twist into the hypo motley genetics.

I'm not sure I like the idea that breeding a Hypo Motley het albino x Sunglow will NOT produce a super sunglow motley. (homozygous hypo/Heterozygous Motley)

If Im understanding this right, that breeding would produce
-Sunglow motleys
-Albino motleys
-Super Sunglows as well as normal sunglows
-Albinos
-Hypo Motleys 100% het (without producing a super hypo motley)
-Motleys 100% het
-DH Sunglows

Yet as I mentioned, leaving out super sunglow motleys and super hypo motleys. Only way to get those, as it seems, would be hypo motley x hypo motley, or of course sunglow motley x hypo motley.

Kind of sucks, I really would have liked to have seen the homozygous hypo form of a sunglow motley. I think that would have been wacky, especially after seeing the super sunglow arabesques by Pete Kahl a few years ago, from breeding a sunglow arabesque x Lipstick DH. The homozygous hypo really did a number on the pattern of the sunglow arabesque. Gave it a spotted look instead of the traditional arabesque pattern. I think it really could have done wonders to the motley pattern

Wow, what a twist in the genetics world, I think so anyways
