    True Ghost

    I understand a True Ghost is an Axanthic x Hypo cross. Couple of questions here.

    Does it matter which hypo you would use...orange, butterscotch, etc.?

    Have any actually been produced as I've searched and searched and can't seem to find a picture of one anywhere?

    No, it doesn't matter.

    Do you think the line of axanthic would make a big difference like with snows? I know TSK was breeding DH true ghost last year but most likely they were using their line of axanthic....

    Well, that's another story entirely. I think the huge difference between the VPI and Joliff snows shows that axanthic choice will play a big role. I'm not convinced that the color of the hypo is as important as the ability of the hypo used in the cross to produce outstanding examples of hypomelanism. There are some hypos out there that look like bright normals, and then there are HYPOS!
