    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

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..$$$).
