Blaze, it's been shown that Albino Females do not always make the best breeder females. I think this was more the case in years past where the vast majority of Albino's were inbred. Today it seems that more and more the albino gene is being outcrossed and it is only getting stronger. With that in mind I've noticed far more Albino mothered litters in the past year or two then I ever saw before.... maybe I'm just paying more attention now?!

The theory on the Snow was that if an Albino Female was a poor breeder that a Snow Female, genetically weaker then the albino, would be even worse.

I'll keep everyone posted on what happens with her. 06' Should be the first year I attempt to breed her.

Thanks,
