Can any of the experienced breeders here who have produced a number of pieds and/or calicos confirm this?

I cant help but think that they are like any other morph, that yes a low white calico CAN produce high whites. However 2 browned out ugly pastels CAN produce screamers, but will more than likely produce more ugly pastels.

I have spoken to breeders who have claimed that high whites TEND to throw high whites and low whites TEND to throw low whites. And then others say it is totally random.

So does the quality of the parent effect the offspring? Or is it a roll of the dice?
