Awesome little girl, congrats on the litter, these brownish sharps have been popping up lately, I dont know what to make of it either?

You are what you repeated to do, excelence is not an act, but a habit......... (Aristole)

Probably because Sharps are T-positive.

Hopefully Trey and I will have results on that soon enough to know for sure.

I don't understand why they are popping up only in the past few years. Also how does the T-Pos have affect on this color or lighter color? Why would T-Pos be darker or lighter unles it has to do with combination of other genes.I would think the whole litter would be affected.I don't know .Lar M

Because they are T-pos they have the potential to have those colors. Look at VPI T-plus, or Paradigms and you will also see some lighter and some darker. Some of which have saddles that are very brown. I would imagine that the parents play a role in the expression of the individual traits.

some of the siblings are showing this chocolate trait as well, but not as much. The parents are a double het sunglow male salmon to my 2003 het sharp female Ihle line. Some crazy things w/ this litter. I will post more pics soon.

Another question any other line besides Ihle connected to this? I wonder what line Tracy got her Chocolate type out of?Anybody else get Chocolates from other source? Lar M

Rich and Tracy both have original Sharps from Brian when he bred them.

I believe some of Tracys animals came from Doug Matuzak. which were acquired directly from Brian Sharp

Right the Pastel Dreams came from Doug.I didn't know they had some from Brian,but it only makes sense that they would,lol.Thanks ,Lar M

I'm curious how those browns would affect a snow or moonglow...

The Sharp Hypo Snow has been called Snowglow. That goes to Ron Michelotti! Helps to differentiate between the Sharp and Kahl version by having distinct names. And arguably a more defining one.

Funny you mentioned that, I just bought a boa from him...

I like his company/website name...

Ron Miichelotti is great! he's been producing some of the best for years now. I have an '04 DH Sharp fem from him.I think she's gorgeous,lol.Lar M

I just picked up a Jungle from Ron a couple weeks back and this things outstanding! The man takes pride in his work and i would deal with him more if i could talk him into breeding lower end boa morphs!

Awesome animals Dan! Now, i'm not a pro but i'm pretty sure that Chocolate is a sunglow. Don't know if you already knew that cause you didn't mention it but just incase I thought i'd toss it out there sense no one else mentioned it. Anyways,congrats again on another colorful litter.

I was thinking the same thing, but I was not sure. Is this for sure ? Thanks

In my honest opinion i'd say thats definitely a Sunglow with very nice deeeep color and some wacky saddles!

Thanks, it looks like I may have a few more freaks in this litter. It is amazing what is showing up, or it could just be I havent seen enough Sharp stuff out there and I am just a little star struck.

That's the great thing about producing your own. All those special secrets that other breeders hold back and buyers never see, or can't buy, are now yours to keep!
