If in fact, the Rusty was a Het Leucistic, then when you breed any two Rusties together, you should get a percentage of Leucistic, right? Only once have I seen a Leucistic pop up in a Rusty x Rusty cross. I am leaning towards the Rusty trait possibly being a selectively recessive trait. I am currently worknig on a few projects to further examine this. I spoke with Darin Bell about it a bit, and he seems to think I may be on the right track with it. I guess time will tell.
