I am aware that the fire and mojave have nothing to do with each other, but they both make a white snake. The point I was making is that the leopard and pied are completely different but that doesn't mean that they can't both make a pied looking animal.

Read it again, they already have proved out a super leopard that is not pied, super leopard looks like a leopard, there is supposedly no visual difference, just like pin. The only way they relate it they appear to be closely linked. Dominant means the het and homo (super) versions look the same, there has to be a super to be dominant. A couple people have proved them with the pinstripe, no one has done that with the spider, thus spider cannot be classified as dominant.
