I know there are hypo whitesided Brooks and non-hypo whitesided.
Are all whitesided Brooks axanthic from their origins or are there whitesided Brooks with yellow?

huh? i dont quite follow your ?.But if I recall, Tim Ricks told me that the W/S's have Axanthic origin.

I am new to the whiteside trait, never really followed it up til now, cause now I have one! I know it originated from axanthic, so I was wondering if all whitesided are axanthic too? Or are there whitesided that are not also axanthic. I would imagine everything had been bred into the original by now, but I didn’t know if it started out that all whitesided were automatically axanthic too.

the 1st WS brooks king was just that a White sided Brooks king, then Axanthic WS Brooksi popped up, those are a double Homozygous mutation expressing the axanthic gene and the WS gene simultaneously (like snows and Ghost).

you know of the WS Hypos 2x HomoZ Hypo and WS also i believe in 2004 Tim Ricks produced a WS snow Brooks which would be a triple mutation (lavender, axanthic and WS all expressed simultaneously) but i think Tim lost his entire collection as a result of hurricane Katrina, but we should see more of those as well as WS ghost, WS peanut butters, etc. in about 2-3 years
