lesserxmojave

I'm a little confused myself. Since it is not a super and it can't reproduce a BEL that would mean i would get 33.33 % chance of producing normals,lessers and mojaves?

50% Lesser 50% Mojave

A BEL is the result of an animal receiving 2 copies of a gene, one gene from each parent. In that regard consider a BEL a recessive animal like a pied or an albino. The confusion comes from the fact , that one copy of the gene cause a visually different animal than a normal i.e., a mojave, a lesser, or a Vin Russo Het Leucistic. Those genes are basically variations of the same gene, so no matter how they are combined they produce a BEL. Each 2 gene combination of the leucistic genes produces a slightly different result. So when you breed a BEL to a normal you will only produce visually different animals. So if your BEL is a result of a mojave bred to a lesser, then statistically the resulting babies will be 50% - visual mojave's and 50% - visual lesser's. Since your normal parent doesn't carry either a mojave or lesser gene, you can not produce more BEL's, because they will only receive one BEL gene from their BEL parent, regardless of what went into making that parent a BEL. I hope this is helpful.

Thanks alot that clears everything up. Im hoping to get a male BEL to breed to my female sable, and hopefully get real nice clutch:D

Well then if you breed a lesserXmojave BEL to your sable, and I am assuming that sable is co-dominant, then you will get sable lesser's, sable mojave's, lesser's and mojave's.

PS - sounds like a cool breeding
