    Re: Thoughts on Dom female vs co dom female

    Dominant traits are dead ends in a small collection. Once you have the trait, it doesn't magnify itself with a super form, but can become a combo. But if you have a small collection that trait can only be added so many times, whereas the co-dom trait can be added then magnified down the road with its super form.

    DOMINANT GENES
    For example:
    Spider x Pinstripe = 25% Spider, 25% Pinstripe, 25% Spinner, 25% Normal

    Then next year that Spinner if bred to either parent will simply yield more of the above in a different assorted percentage.

    Spinner x Spider = 37.5% Spider, 12.5% Pinstripe, 37.5% Spinner, 12.5% Normal
    Spinner x Pinstripe = 37.5% Pinstripe, 12.5% Spider, 37.5% Spinner, 12.5% Normal

    CO-DOM GENES
    For example:
    Pastel x Cinnamon = 25% Pastel, 25% Cinnamon, 25% Pewter, 25% Normal

    Then next year you breed the pewter back to one of the parents and you then have chances at:

    Pewter x Cinnamon = 12.5% Normal, 12.5% Pastel, 25% Cinnamon, 12.5% Super Cinnamon, 25% Pewter, 12.5% Silver Bullet
    Pewter x Pastel = 12.5% Normal, 12.5% Cinnamon, 25% Pastel, 12.5% Super Pastel, 25% Pewter, 12.5% Silver Streak

    And so on and so forth... You can continually breed to get the super forms and it makes the breeding more interesting. Granted... dominant genes have their place as well.
