>>> "They ask is it a hypo or is it an extreme?"


LOL!!!, yeah,....I know what ya mean!, and also all the "shades" of gray that hypos come in, can be pretty confusing to folks that really aren't "in the know" about them. Not only that,...but also what they can't see as well!

I whole-heartedly agree that your animal is VERY exceptional, and deserves a name that is far removed from others that have been used, or are still being used in the hobby. I'm not so sure however that the great unique name your trying to come up with to apply to your animal should have the name "ultra" anywhere in it's title AT ALL!. Don't get me wrong, it's a fabulous name, is very descriptive, simple, and isn't confusing,........but I think it would be very confusing to many because of the way it was used to describe some animals in the past that fell just short of being "extreme". If it was NEVER used to describe some of these other exceptional looking lighter than normal hypos, It would be a FANTASTIC name, but using it now, after it's been thrown around for a while with these other animals, would probably tend to be very confusing and frustrating. It really is too bad, because I like the name a lot, and if I and others never heard it applied to other types, it would be a superb name.

You really need to set it far apart from other descriptive words that have been tossed around before.

Just as an example, maybe something like "Stellar Hypo",...meaning astronomical, of the very best, excellent. Or even maybe "Co-Dom" Hypo......Anyway, you get the picture and understand what I mean here.

I think if I heard the term "Ultra Extreme", or anything similar to it being used, I'd always have to reply in confusion,...."you mean Terry M's animal, or the OTHER ultras?".

I think after this year, you, Shannon, Joe, and a few others will be able to compare notes, and settle some more of the questions regarding the genetics of yours as well. In any case, just my opinion, and some ideas you might want to think about.


BTW, thanks for the compliment on the little girl I had posted, I think she's pretty sweet as well.


later, Terry!.....~Doug
