You made it sound like low white calicos were poor quality animals not worth breeding, which isn't the case.
That may not have been what you meant, thats how I read it though...
I gotcha. I was just using the wrong example to demonstrate that a crappy morph is not going to create nice looking babies.
I read your comment as saying that low white calico's are proven to produce high white offspring. While this might be partially true, you can't buy a low white calico and assume that it will throw lots of high whites. Neither can you assume the opposite. :P
