Re: Panda Pieds, How to breed ofr them?
Further thought:
I am not looking to try this project, but my approach to a basic recessive/co-dom breeding like this (starting from scratch) would be to initially use a male recessive to female co-dom (preferably super form) to get the co-dom hets. I would then want to breed the daughters back to male recessive and hopefully the sons to a female pied to get at least one co-dom/visual recessive (in this case BP pied) which can then be bred back to a co-dom het (or 2nd BP pied if you were lucky enough to get 1.1) . To me this approach is preferable to breeding het to het as you might be lucky enough to hit the BP pied by breeding 2 hets together but the rest would all be 66% hets. Breeding back to a visual recessive does take an extra generation but you will know exactly what all of the babies are. Obviously it would be best to play a numbers game and use multiple BP females and a 2nd pied male to give unrelated breeding partners in the F1 generation and as many pied females as you could gather up (and spare) for the sucessive breeding but that depends on how obsessed you are and what you can afford...
The thing for me is that BP pieds are pretty low on my list of pieds that I want to produce, and you are very likely to produce a few along the way. I am much more interested in pastel/killer pieds, which follow the same rules, and double recessive projects, whch are a whole different ball game!
