Pix of Incorrect Het Pied Markers?

Heat Jan 17, 2009 08:59 PM

Does anyone have belly shot pix of het pied markers that after multiple years breeding did NOT prove out as pied??

I would like to see a great example of a "wrong marker."

Here is a pet store girl that I picked up based on her belly and bred a couple of times to markered males from known possible het lines without producing any pieds. The clutches weren’t big and I might have tried more except she had a terrible attitude so I sold her to someone who didn't care as much about that.

Het-Pied markers are hogwash

Unlike the pet store girl that I took a chance on this marker has been passed down through four consecutive generations of outbreeding since her piebald great great grandfather. I'll be very surprised if my odds aren't a lot better than the 12.5% on paper.
