A super leopard pied would look exactly the same as a leopard pied, it would just have two genes from the leopard line of pied. Think about it like this, if you put a leopard with a regular pied you get a leopard pied that carries the leopard line of pied as well as the regular line of pied and so you will get non leopards when you breed. But if you put leopard to leopard they will only have the leopard line and therefore only pass that line. The super leopard only throws leopards which are it's visual hets similar to how a super pastel only throws pastels which are it's visual hets.
This could very well mean that pied wouldn't be a true recessive and could instead be seen as a condominant trait.
My research into the gene is just starting with the leopard girl I'm getting, but if anyone knows how to contact Graziani or Davis I'd love for them to weigh in with what that know. I also saw Justin Kolbykas name popping up in a few of the threads maybe he can help with this issue
