    Question Het axanthic marker?

    Hi,

    I posted pics of my little holdback normal female on another forum and a couple of people mentioned they thought the dots either side of her nose were markers for het axanthics.

    I had never heard of this so thought I would ask you guys what you thought about it.

    Neither of the parents had the dots and, as far as I am aware, both are CF.

    Here are a couple of pictures I took of the spots a while ago.

    Just a random thing. Most refer to them as booger balls.

    Re: Het axanthic marker?

    I actually have several of those. A few are het Hypo, One is a het Pied and most are (as far as I know) Normal. And yes, they're called booger balls.

    The only marker I've heard about for het Axanthic is that Pastels het axanthic have a distinctly different look to them then normal Pastels, they're lighter in color.
