Thanks Jessica!



I think the real point here is, even if the homozygous Kahl/Sharp animal was magnificent, stunning, OMG gorgeous, what do you do with it? Making more is what comes to mind first!!! BUT, while making it and making more like it, you produce mountains of "dunno genetic" animals. AND, you would have to do a LOT of inbreeding. Every time you outcross to strengthen the line, you make yet another mountain of "dunno genetic" animals. It's all the mountains of "dunno genetic" animals that scares me. What to do with them and what projects are ruined by them being sold as one strain or the other or even simply not mentioning it's possible or even 100% het for the other strain. ANY and ALL albino projects other than dual Kahl/Sharp would NOT want these "dunno genetic" animals.



Example, you get a DH Kahl Sunglow, and then get a Albino to go with it. Unknown to you both are het for Sharp. You breed them and mybe the litter is a little heavy on Albino/Sunglow babies, maybe not. BUT, some of those babies would/could be Sharp Albino/Sunglows. Maybe you also don't get lucky enough to hit the dual strain sunglow so you don't even know. Not to mention ALL the babies would be pos het Sharp further propogating the "dunno genetics"!!!





Again, to sumarize my point, producing the dual strain animals would likely filter into other projects and potentially ruin them all!!
