The Mother of the Patternless "Harlequins" is not a Harlequin bloodline animal. At least that is what we have been told. She was bred by one when she produced the litter of patternless babies. Within that litter there were 5 patternless. ALL FEMALES. None ever reproduced and none are still alive. I am personally only aware of two non-patternless littermates that were ever sold from that litter and they were both females.
So. If the patternless babies the first time, and or possibly this time, are the product of parthenogenesis, they never were Harlequin anything after all.
I had not ever heard that she had been bred since that litter back with the patternless animals. If she did, assuming the patternless trait is genetic, and most likely a simple recessive, all those babies would be 50% possible hets. It would be nice to have one or more of them... ----- Jeff Ronne Sr
