Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

BP Genetic Expression...Piebalds
A quick question about piebald phenotypic expression...
I've seen some Pieds with 80% white and some with as little as a quarter-sized patch of white. I've heard that the low-white individuals are capable of producing offspring with high white. Is this true? Is it really variable like that, or have high-white individuals been proven to produce a larger percentage of high-white babies?
On a side note, I also noticed that some pieds have definite black borders around their "normal" patterns, some don't. Are there any breeders out there producing specific pied pattern traits (or is it even possible)?
Thanks ahead of time for the info. I am looking to get into a pied breeding project (starting with hets..$$$).

P.S. I posted this in the genetics forum also, but with no response.

Yes absolutely.

A high white is just as capable of producing low white babies as a low white is capable of producing high white babies. The percent of white on a pied has absolutely no bearing on the percent of white that its offspring will have. It is truly random.

Same as with the percentage of white on a pied.... it appears to be completely random.

I agree with Sammy on this one, because I have seen some very low white pieds. throw some killer high white offspring. very variable for sure.
