With a already tiny gene pool on the normal blues and with a very small number of original albinos I believe the gene pool is going to be the same no matter who the breeder is.
The fact that he would not divulge his source is not unusual. Most breeders will not tell customers where extra stock comes from. I supply several other breeders with stock myself. I would be very upset if I had sold animals to a dealer and he then told his customer who I was. Some of us would rather have the time to spend with our animals rather than talking with someone who has already purchased elsewhere.
I do feel Ty is handling this situation wrong to be clear. I just can't see where the genetics are likely to make any difference as long as they have been kept pure.
