You make a great point here. The problem being in a litter from Het Leopard to Het Leopard breeding. Out of the possible Het Leopards can you pick out which are Hets and which are not hets ? If you can without failure every time,you may have a great point.

I'm not working with the Leopard gene,so I have no first hand experience to pull from to support or dispute your Hypothesis.

I have seen several Het Leopard litters pictured .

All of those babies certainly seem to have pattern anomalies.

I feel I'm missing or failing to point out and or make an important point.

I know what it is.

The percentages produced when breeding Heterozygous Recessive to

Heterozygous Recessive are different than

The percentages produced when breeding Heterozygous Codominant

to Heterozygous Codominant



Heterozygous Recessive to Heterozygous Recessive =

25% Homozy ;

25% regulars ;

50% hets



Heterozygous Codominant to Heterozygous Codominant =

50% super / Homozy ;

50% non Super / Het standard Version



So the recessive trait in a Het to Het breeding only produces 25% Homozygous animals



The Codominant trait in a Het to Het breeding produces

50% Homozygous animals



I don't believe I've missed or failed to state any major points here

Someone will correct me if I have
