The Arab X Arab offspring need tested. The only way to be 100% sure would be to take ALL of them and breed to all non Arabesque animals. If teh Reverse striped version are supers, and the classic Arab pattern non supers then it is co-dominant. If the Normal pattern Arabesques are Super also, even just one, it would be Dominant.

It is kind of like Kahl's Recessive Strip gene. Some animals can have very little stripeing, are the het or striped? Some of the Arabesque Supers may have some missing saddles, how are you sure they are Super before breeding? In both cases I think it better not to market them as Homozygous unless 100% definate. For now the Arab X Arab offspring will be sold as Hypo X Hypo are, possible supers. And as some Stripe Hets, may actually be homozygous stripe, with a tiny little stripe. Also the reason Kahl sells possible Jungles, sometimes the phenotypic representation isn't clear.
