What are Pieds? (Jinx)

[Mike41793]

Regarding markers. I personally think there are good and bad examples of 'hets' (specifically when regarding pied and clown) like any other WT or morph.
I posted a picture of normal het clowns previously. You can definitely see the clown gene influencing the normal phenotype.
A few are more obvious than others. I consider this equivalent to the example of Yellowbelly or Fire. Some people cannot distinguish a horrible example of a YB or Fire from a normal. But good examples stand out and pop.
These 2 morphs can be subtle alone, but do big things when combined with morphs. Same thing with these "hets". It's not that the markers or whatever traits aren't there. They are there. Just more downplayed and subtle compared to the better examples of it....

Just my $.02

I agree with this 100%. There are high quality het pieds and not as high quality het pieds, imo.

To illustrate nikkis point, there are higher quality fires:


And fires that look more like normals (google image):


And higher quality YB's:

I smell what you're cooking nikki.
