Sorry for somewhat hijacking your thread. As far as I know, nothing is wrong with the gene. It just takes a fair bit more time for recessives to drop in value so it's still mostly the larger, or more monetarily committed, breeders working with them. It also makes for a safer investment even though it takes longer, and is more costly, to set up a recessive project. They hold their value far longer than these animals that drop from 50k to 5k in a couple seasons.
