Great post Rusty. For many years I have been saying prety much the same thing.The term hypo is used so loosly andything with reduction is a hypo?LOL....



I do believe that they are all recessive within there own line.Its when you take one line and cross it to another line and produce normals that are actually double het but look like low end hypos where it gets all screwed up.



in (08) I took my Alloway tri-colored "hypo" and bred him to my falcon extreme hypo and out of five god eggs that hatched only one animal was hypo.I guess he wasn't a real hypo but his mega bloodline made him look hypo and he was just het for the other line.

I guess time will tell and it was the only breeding I ever got from that male before he died in hibernation the next fall.



Here are a couple pics just for fun.
