SO if I breed my ghost to a albino I get thriple hets right? I keep seeing dominent hypos. I was under the inpression that all of them were dominent since I see hypos whenever someone breeds a hypo to a normal.

Two possible outcomes......

If your Ghost is het hypo + Anery then...
1/2 TH Moonglow
1/2 DH Snow

If your Ghost is homozygous hypo + Anery then...
all TH Moonglow

Note: Both outcomes are assuming your Ghost is not het Albino and your Albino is not het Anery, stranger things have happened..

"dominant hypo" is (IMO) an incorrect term being used to describe a "super" ghost (homozygous hypo + Anery). Yes Hypo is dominant, the confusion comes from is there one hypo gene (het hypo) or are there two (homozygous or super hypo)
