I can't explain it with a bunch of genetic lingo but the hypo trait is a co-dominant/dominant trait. If you breed a hypo to a normal, you end up with half the litter being co dominant hypo. If you breed 2 co-dominant hypos together, you end up with mostly dominant hypos because the trait has been "strengthened", pretty much. That's the way the trait works. Hard to explain I guess, but easy to understand.
