F2 Dunners!

They were first produced, last year, from my Blood Dragon bloodline, purely by accident (as is the case with all genitic abnormalities).

That should say "genetic" abnormalities! We need an "edit" feature on this site!

Sandfire Dragon Ranch claims to have produced the original animal from their lines. Nice animals though. Glad to see some of your dunners made it.

If my memory serves me correct, I believe that Steven (BloodBank Dragons) was the first to produce F2's and had them available in May of this year. The offspring were possible hets for hypo.

Then in July, CJ (DNA Dragons) produced the first Hypo Dunners as well as the first double hets (hypo & trans).

Then, just last month, Steven produced the first Hypo Leather and Leather Dunners. His are 6 1/2 weeks old at the moment.

Just wanting to give credit where credit is due...

Hi Carl,

I believe we have spoke before. A dunner is a mutation, not a combination of two mutations. It started with one single animal with a glitch in it's DNA that made it look different (striping of tail, odd scalation), and from there, the same differences passed onto it's offspring. It is a proven-dominate mutation.

CJ

yes thank you for the info and cj i beleived i asked you but didnt understand fully and then i ran across this site and seen some more pics and was trying to find a little more out about them its alot of money for me to try and get a dunner but i dont want to spend that much on one if next year they are a whole lot cheaper and hopeing the breeders out there are not inbreeding these dragons and asking that type of money but thatnks for the info it was helpful and maybe looking to buy one in the near future

That was incorredtly posted on a foreign website. Sandfire does not even have a single one. They were first produced at my facility in 2010 from my Blood Dragon line. That's why Steven named them after me. Actually, I think it's a silly name...wish my last name was "Stripe" instead of Dunne, then he would have called them "Stripers"! There were several dunners in each of 2 clutches produced that year. I sold a group of them to Bloodbank that same year and I think Steven was the first to produce the 2nd generation dunners...

CJ is partially right: It is not the result of any type of selective breeding...I just got lucky. But it was not just a single animal that was produced...it was several in the first clutch and several more in the next clutch...neither parent showed the trait.

I missed this last night. That's funny. I always liked "striped trait" but that does not fully describe the morph. Obviously "dunner" describes very little but you have to admit, we have much more than a stripe here.

Can't wait to see more pics when they get bigger Kevin.
