I will give you the exact same advice I gave Brendan. Bred it to something that will not distort the paper. E.g. and albino, anery, etc. Not a hypo, harlequin, or motley. The reason being, is that if this trait is an incomplete dominant, and the offspring phenotypically express some markers, then you want to be able to distinguish them from the rest of the litter (if she produces). If you have hypos, motleys, etc, then your likelihood of missing a potential het is pretty high.



Once you have one litter out of her, and she has a rest, then screw around with motleys, hypos, etc.



Just my two cents.
