Sukie,
I am in agreement with reguard to the theory of 'fancys" carrying more rece=
ssive traits,
hence the recessive genes and what goes wih them become stronger( more domi=
nant)`.
I got a new baby in February, Pep=E9, who is marked something like a revers=
e skunk.
I just KNEW to look at him that he would be deaf- he is.
I am so happy though to be his Moma, to me deaf kids are more outgoing in m=
any ways,
and I've never had a hard time getting basic cues across.
I wonder too, how much of this kind of breeding will be showing more cleft =
palates, cranial
deformities and other organ malfuctions or formations.
