is there a site that has a list of all the bearded dragon colors/morphs and breaks down which are dominant and recessive?

No. There's no such information available. You have to understand that color morphs are just names assigned by breeders. So I could just say all my babies are BDlvr morph. Sandfire just means they were produced at the Sandfire Dragon Ranch, a breeder. If you mated a big dragon with an orange dragon you could call its offspring an orange german giants as others have. The is no scientific method to the names so you can just make up your own.

In humans we could have the blond hair, blue eyed morph, but it would still be a homo sapien.

Right, but the various colors have to be genetically passed on. I've seen some dragons sold as 'hets', which would imply that certain genes are recessive, while I would assume others are dominant. I'm just wondering which are which. Are you saying there's no information on this?

When they refer to "hets" there are a few traits they are referring to. "Hypomelonistic" often referred as "Hypo" is a reduction in dark pigment. Breeders call them "Hypos" if they have clear nails although hypomelanistic would be an infinite scale from a totally black dragon to an albino. "Trans" is short for translucent. Both are definable within breeder defined parameters. "Morphs" are more like someones name for a color or pattern.
