Re: Het albino retic question
I would agree mostly that morphs should be considered incomplete dominance. With some remaining just dominant (Champagne, Spider, Pinstripe - simply because there is no Homozygous form of these genes that survives - we could even through Jaguar in there). I do believe we are OK calling SOME things co-dominate because of the way they react to other genes. If they simply brighten with two copies as in Pastel, we would call that codominance. If things drastically change as in Super Fires, Mojaves, Lesser, or in retics Plattinum, you could call these incomplete dominance, but many people are now refering to them as Visual hets for a recessive trait (Luecistic - aka Blue eyed Lucy and Black eyed Lucy). This topic has definitely been beat around quite a bit by numerous breeders, and the results will always be arguable. Not trying to be the guy who changes the way things are done, just bringing all the facts to light that have been discussed before.
