Got that one covered, Rick, lol. I agree with you entirely, but want to point out one thing, your female is from the
original Kahl male bred back to one of his het daughters. That was back at the start of all this. Parent to offspring matings pretty much have to occur to prove out any morph. The problem comes when people continue to inbreed without enough outcrosses, as each breeding decreases the "individuality" of the DNA (daughter already has 1/2 her genetic structure from her father, breed her back and her offspring
essentially get 3/4 from him). Then factor in people doing sib/sib breedings and you see the branches falling right off the family tree. I don't think anybody would argue that a generation or two of this type of breeding can be tolerated without causing significant problems, but without early and regular outcrossing things get ugly
