that's real helpful of you.
If I knew what the Highway gene consisted of I would tell you but I was kinda wondering the same thing.

Any "HONEST" input would be appreciated.

I wasn't trying to be a smart butt.

The Highway gene is part of the yellowbelly complex [including Het Super Stripes (spectors) and Het Pumas (sparks)].

You have to breed a Het Highway to a yellowbelly to make a visual Highway. The Het Highway gene looks almost normal. I've read that some say it's hard to tell them apart from yellowbellys.

Have a good one.

Greg's right. It's a Het Highway, just like you make a puma with a yellowbelly and a het puma (or spark), or a superstripe with a yellow belly and a het superstripe (or spectre). To my knowledge though, the het highway doesn't have another name like the "spark" or the "spectre".

Just a name or website please. Please do not discuss sales here as it is against policy. I just need leads.

Thank you

According to the originator of the Het Highway gene, they will now be called "Gravel"

I believe Bill is calling the het highways 'Gravel'.

I don't think Bill Brant was selling any hets until he proves them out,he will sell you a highway though.From what I've seen and heard you can tell the hets in the clutch.I can't be 100% until I prove them out.
