Hi Everybody,
Today I devoted a few hours (between working) to reading through the 20+ threads devoted to the topic of inbreeding/line-breeding various BP morphs. I had no idea of the complexities in creating these morphs! My already high respect for breeders just jumped several notches.
A few of the major BP breeding websites host articles on genetics, and from what I gather, co-dom and recessive are most commonly out-bred and thus have a broader gene pool, while combos line/in-breed to emphasise certain desired attributes.
It also seems to be a general consensus that 1-2 generations of line-breeding and inbreeding is fine regardless of morph. (I’m just making a statement based on what I’ve read; I am not trying to initiate a debate that has already been covered in multiple threads.)
Providing I have my ‘basics’ in order (this can be a lot for a total noob to absorb in one sitting!) my question is thus: what are some of the specific BP morphs that are the least in/line-bred?
I understand that breeding practices will differ greatly from breeder to breeder and may be subject to a variety of factors, so I am only hoping for a good ‘general’ idea of these specific morphs.
Thanks!
