Blizzard x Raptor = 100% het Diablo Blanco?

[imbrad2003]

I just want someone elses opinion. Not too long ago we had a breeder claiming her Blizzard x Raptor offspring were 100% het Diablo Blanco.

I emailed her and it got a little heated.

I am under the impression that 100% het is only if one of the parents were a Diablo Blanco.

Any input would be great!

Well the offspring of that pairing will be triple het blizzard, tremper, and eclipse. Since the raptor is homozygous for tremper and eclipse and the blizzard is homyzogous for blizzard. All three hets can make a diablo blanco. So you can say the offspring are 100 percent het diablo blanco.

Now the odds of breeding the offspring together and getting a DB is very low because of the triple het
