obviously, just like anything else, if you keep degrading the gene, or reducing it's strength, by outcrossing to normals, then you may get less of the oddities and extreme aberrants.

Would seem like the more you combine the gene, the more you can get out of it...

BUT, then again, some of the most aberrant and extreme oddities have been produced from normal appearing Harlequin ourcrossed to a normal...
it is still uncertain, from my understanding..


I wish Tim and/or Brendan would post their thoughts more frequently as they are going through their breeding trials..!


Thanks, Joe
