I have a few Kahl stripe lines, they are "double hets" but you can visualy see the striping (or saddles that are wanting to go that way) Every one I see called a het usualy has some slight degree of striping is it realy a simple recessive trait? or is it a poligenic buildup to striping?

The last litter I sold the poss hets off as just that, "poss hets" but I'd say 99% of them were at least 100% het striped it just seems obvious to see to me.. How many of you have got het striped and bred them, and are the numbers working out pretty close like they should?

based on appearance and what i've seen out there, it does seem that many of the animals that are in fact het for Kahl Striped line do have some sort of aberrancie or mild stripe.

I wouldn't go as far as to say without a doubt it is an indicator, but I would consider it to be a mild indicator for me!
