The Kahl line genetic stripe is a simple recessive trait that expresses itself in a variable way. Think of it the same as the albino trait; that is, het stripe x het stripe = 1/4 stripes and stripe x het stripe = 1/2 stripes. The only difference is that the animals that are striped, will show it to varying degrees, i.e. some will have bigger stripes than others.

Double het striped albino animals are normals that are het for both albinism and stripe. If you breed these animals together, you can get striped albinos - animals expressing both traits at once.

In the particular example you requested, which was albino x dh striped albino, you would would get 50% albinos and 50% het for albinos. All of these animals would also be 50% possible het for stripe.

Hope this helps,
Matt Crabe

Pic is of albino, 100% het for stripe.
