How leopard affect other genes

It's not secret I love Leopard and their combos, what I love is how they affect other mutation, I also love their ability to give drastically different results.

Same mutation (Hypo Coral Glow Lesser Leopard) - 2 drastically different animals

Holy smokes!

Both gorgeous, but yes, very different!

I have very little knowledge on different genetics, especially in BP's, and want to ask a question that sounds relevant and like I kind of know what I am talking about. So, what kind of gene is Leopard (recessive, co-dominant, etc)?

Thank you for sharing.

Leopard has been listed has Dominant since it first appeared however Super Leopard have been produced.

That's awesome. A dominant trait that creates different patterns on the offspring. Pretty cool.

If I understand it right, a Super Form results from two co-dominant animals with the same gene, correct? How did they get a Super Leopard then?

Where the supers healthy and able to breed also? I thought I've read that some Super's can have issues, or am I wrong here?

Don't mind me, I've been reading up on genetics and trying to figure out my own collection and just curious.

Not trying to steal the thread at all, but appreciate any light you can shed, at your convenience of course.

Thank you Deborah!

Those examples really bring the point home. Nice!. I also like that Leopard seems to be somewhat of a darkening gene.

From what I heard from Nerd, a "Super" Leopard was produced by someone, don't recall the name, but what is actually a homozygous dominant. No visual change, just produces 100% Leopards.

Has something changed?

Jeez you produce some beauties!!! That's a perfect example of a quality breeder producing living art! :bow:

two unique beauties!
