so we have 1 recessive gene where the homozygous form is the pied, and 1 codominant gene where the homozygous form is also a pied, but in this case also a super leopard.
A leopard het pied looks like a leopard not a pied. A leopard pied can be leopard x pied and a super leopard would be leopard x leopard and be a visual pied. Not all three form are visible as all leopards are het pied and not all of them are visual pieds
