Myth Busting

[Devilness Chant]

As strange as this sounds, I was kinda disappointed when I got a new fur right off. On the one hand it's exciting and wonderful to get something right off. But on the other hand, to me she is a bengal snow, bali seal.
Back breeding for traits, inbreeding, all these things will probably pull the more recessive furs out.
Long ago when I was fairly new, I worked on putting traits into oci lavenders and had a breeding pair. They were gorgeous to me and I wanted to make more. I kept ending up with Bengal silvers. They were gorgeous to me too, but not what I was trying to do.
I had a breeding pair hiding bali choco, but they both also hid bali lilac. So my end results were always bali lilacs.
The nice thing is now I know what I have, and an idea how to work it so I can get a pure fur without having to worry about another fur popping out.
Recessive can be a good way to find out faster what another kitty hides. Or like I"m working on stubbies so I can get the tiger curl and fussy working threw my kitties.
But never underestimate the more dom traits and their places in the food chain. The more you work at getting your kitty, the more frustrating it can be, but the end result is rewarding.
