What happens when a Leucistic and a Rusty are crossed to each other. Mike, the other parent to the cross was a D.B. Sunglow (we also believe that it is an albino Rusty). So a Leucistic crossed to an albino Rusty gave all Rusties. Does this make any sense? I understand odds, but in terms of a Co-Dominant trait, the odds are no longer as easy to distinguish as a trait that is heterozygous. Then my next question is:

If you take a normal to a rusty, you will get 50:50 babies. If you then take two of the NORMAL ones and cross them to each other, will any rusties come of that? If so, doesn't this indicate that Rusty can be heterozygous?

What also doesn't make sense is where the first Sunglow came from. Darin said he took a baby from the ORIGINAL Leucistic's wild breeding clutch and crossed it back to mom. This is where the Sunglow came from.
