Is blizzard a co-dominant trait?

[acpart]

I've been wondering about this ever since I got my female blizzard last year. All her offspring have been heavily speckled, no surprise with blizzard hets. I would guess that if blizzard were a co-dominant trait, rather than a simple recessive it would work like this:

blizzard x blizzard = blizzard (super form)

blizzard x non-blizzard= single copy form: always speckled

blizzard or speckled x speckled= some blizzards (super form)
some speckled (single gene form)
**some non-speckled who will end up not having the blizzard gene at all, similar to Mack snow "siblings"

Has anyone who breeds blizzards collected data that would prove this out?

I don't believe so, only because I have had Blizzard Hets that were not speckly.

Yea, I have to agree. I've had hypo tangs that were het blizzard.

I bred raptor het blizzard to blizzard het for? And I got normals.... one of the norals spots are very small and speckly like you're saying. There will be bred back to my raptor next summer

Well, it was worth asking. Kelli, what morph were the blizzard hets that weren't speckled? And what was the spotting size like on the hypo tangs?
