Pairing up co-dom/doms to normals

[rabernet]

All of what you stated makes a lot of sense and I agree with selective breeding.

Do you (or anyone else) feel that a reduced pattern makes any difference with pairing to a mojave or cinnamon?

In reference to a spider, does the pattern have any affect at all? I imagine a very light normal can help lighten up a dark spider but does blushing or a large reduced pattern do anything?

Just wondering stuff . . .

Thx

I've heard anecdotal results that a reduced pattern normal to a spider results in lower white spiders, but I don't know if that's true. I do know that my reduced patterned normal bred to a spider resulted in all reduced patterned babies. However, the spider was also reduced patterned.

Not sure if reduced pattern would affect the cinnamon or mojave, since those are both pattern morphs, and I would tend to believe that their pattern would be less likely to be affected by the normal. The reason I plan to pair my dark reduced pattern normal to my mojo this year is that I'd like to see if it will make the contrast between the yellows in the mojo and the darkness of the rest more extreme.
