My guess is that the two lines are one in the same... Thanks for the news Kevin...

I speculate the same.

I also wonder about the BP morphs not coming from the same populations when they were ch. I think both the cinnamon and the blackpastel came out in 2002. Wondering the same thing about the 2 of 3 or more lines of caramel that are compatible. Maybe they are sibs from a different year or two who knows.

The Axanthic westerns go back many years so it is entirely possible that a pair or more hets were sold to the guys in NE.

Cool news anyway for those who possess both lines.
