sharp x kahl breeding????

NUCCIZ_BOAS Dec 04, 2006 08:18 PM

everybody says how these 2 strands of albinism are not compatible. The only way for us to know this is to have bred them to eachother. Anybody know who may have done it and what happened to the offspring?

If they were bred back together, I'd be VERY curious to see what the results were. The litter of obviously have both strains of albinism, but would we see something totally different in a sharp/kahl albino showing both traits?

The only reason I can think of that nobody has tried this yet, would be to keep the bloodlines pure, and not create a huge mess out of the albino market as we know it. So therefor I wonder if the offspring of a sharp x kahl breeding, (if it was ever done to test compatibility) were kept alive or if they may have been put down for that reason.

I would be interested to see what the results would be though.

Thoughts/suggestions/ideas?

did a breeding from a Het of one strain to a homozygous of the other strain.

I don't recall which sex was the Albino, and which was the het, or which was what strain.

However, the litter resulted in all Wild Type offspring.
