I'm waking up this thread again as i've been recently hearing that there is more and more misinformation about breeding and traits especially in secondary market claims.

In case some haven't been shown Saga"s docs yet here's the link : https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B0_Wqb33nVpnZWYwNGViMGMtYWU4ZS00ZjAyLTk4OTctMzk2YzljODliMDhm/edit?hl=en_US

Now take the Eyes Dominance Order ; if, for example you are wanting Ody Kaleidoscope and someone shows you a kitty showing Jade then there is NO way the Ody Kal can be hiding there as it is DOMINANT to Jade - this Jade eye will be hiding either Jade or could be hiding any one of the 3 eyes lower on the page as these are RECESSIVE to Jade. (Examination of the pedigree is necessary to determine this.)
** I won't get into further technical details at this stage else this post would soon get indigestible

The same rule goes for all other traits, dominants at the top of page working down in order to the recessives.

So the rule is - Any given trait will be hiding either the same or a more recessive, NEVER a more dominant.

As for working out if the more recessive eye is present then this needs a lecture of the pedigree if this recessive isn't shown in either of the parents and any honest and reputable breeder will be more than happy to show this to you if it isn't allready available in their store.
If you aren't yet familiar enough with pedigrees then please do ask a seasoned breeder to help you out as the community allways likes to protect new breeders from making mistakes - Saga felix , Liriel Garnet , Kayleigh , Khea Karas , Nocshadue Balbozar , Devilness Chant , Sanura Snowpaw, myself even ( to name just a few )

And best of all, learn from these docs and go to breeding classes and you'll soon be able to work it all out for yourself in just a few secs

Edit : well sorry guys but google links seem to have gone dead on me so you'll just have to copy paste the above link to the docs or find them here : http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=2351 in the OP
