RE: Discovering hidden traits in kittens started using recessive traits!!
Theo and I used to do classes and at one point in the beginning there were almost as many KittyCats classes as auctions. I think it stopped mostly because with the charts pointing out what's recessive, understanding the process is relatively simple and it gets repetitive to say the same thing so many times.
That's part of why we stopped. The other part is that we talk about how to pull traits weekly at our auctions (5PM SLT Saturdays.) We talk about it a lot. I know we're not in everyone's time zone, but a lot of auctioneers explain in great, gory detail how to pull traits. I like to call 9 trait cats "finishers" for your starters. It's an easy way to remember it.
Anyway, I do take slight offense that we stopped teaching classes as a means to mad cash and info hoarding. That was the furthest thing from my mind. I can't vouch for everyone, but changing personal circumstances, getting burned out repeating themselves, and just not knowing who needs help are the most likely culprits.
That said, the image and explanation Fabao provided in this venue is very helpful and a good place to reach out. Good job!
