paradigm

so a little confused on the genetics on how to get a paradigm. do you get 100% paradigms if you breed a bw caramel to a sharp albino? If you do, how do you get back to a bw caramel? do you breed a paradigm to a normal and get bw caramels? any knowledge would be greatly appriciated.

Yes a Sharp Albino x BW Caramel gives you Paradigms . To get BW Caramels from a Paradigm , you'll need to breed it to either a BW Caramel , or a het/Caramel . It takes a little extra thought when figuring out the Paradigm breeding outcomes - especially when using hets.

> Caramel x Sharp = Paradigms

> Paradigms x Caramel = 50% Caramels , 50% Paradigms

> Paradigm x Sharp = 50% Sharps , 50% Paradigms

> Paradigm x Paradigm = 50% Paradigms, 25% Caramels, 25% Sharps

> Paradigm x Normal = [50% het Sharps, 50% het Caramels], AKA Parahets - the whole litter would be considered to be Parahets, meaning the whole litter is het for one or the other.
