Wow, some awesome examples of amazing reduced pattern clowns folks! And Marc! - we definitely need to talk at the Montreal expo next month. I'll be sure to come over and introduce myself this time around. (I quietly stalked your booth a bit at the CRBE but I was poor so didn't want to waste your time when you were busy with others, heh.)
The two het clowns I have right now come from busier patterned males. And I don't mind the busy pattern at all. In fact, I wouldn't mind having two lines going. One reduced pattern and one quite heavily patterned.
I also agree that het clowns tend to almost have a different look to them. Mine have a really nice yellow tint to them.

All these clown pics are making me drool. I sure hope my hets produce a clown or 2 this year. By far my favorite morph, and the combos are just spectacular.
okay this is my het clown girl from Sean Bradley and she is majorly reduced and light in color. Her sire is their most reduced clown in their collection...

She's gourgeous Doris!
When you breed her let us know how the offspring turn out.

I would believe it's the same thing as the G.Stripe.
A full nice stripe (with no broken pattern) will tend to make more nice ones, but could also produce ones that have a broken stripe.
Same with the pied. Looks like the high white have a tendency to produce high white but they still produce low white (vice versa the low white can produce high white).
