It only caused a mess to those that used Aleutians as a club when they got egg on their face. With great respect, Bill, I was the witness to that onslaught...
People have ruined other people's lives over Aleutians. We have created an environment where lying about a ferret testing positive is seen as easier then...
... Yep. The ADV people stayed calm and objective and logical. There was a lot of noise from some people outside that knowledgeable group who were freaking...

Actually, I don't mind excursions, such as this one, away from the general 'genetics' topics of discussion. I just don't want it to descend into the argument...
... Boy, do I ever agree! Too many things have been derailed that way. BTW, Chiclet now is in the hospital on IV antibiotics; it doesn't look promising but we...

Has anyone seen differences in the ability or inability to cope with ADV in ferrets or specific markings or coloration? If this haas been covered beofre...
Thinking about Chiclet and a few others now, I got to thinking about JV. I wonder is it genetic at all? Does anyone know? Can irresponsible breeding lead to...
Wolfy, I'm going to have to disagree with you that the genetics which cause WS (or whatever) ferrets are in the same ballpark as those which are responsible...
Well, like you say the pelage aspects of neural crest disorders are markings, not colorations. It will be interesting if numbers indicate that it possibly...

Okay, back to the "color", and minus my bringing up of the topic of neural crest disorders. I've not seen, off hand, in photos, a huge striking amount of very...
It seemed to me that you were wondering where the overlaps and differences are in pigment deprivation of markings as compared to general pigment deprivation...

I'm picturing it as a blue or blue/gray color. I vaguely remember it being described somewhere as genetically aa which would mean the recessive of black in...

Albinism came up in a recent talk with geneticist, Dr. Brett Middleton. I've asked him for permission to copy some of his text, but meanwhile this may be...

I agree with Bill and for the same reason. I have seen no evidence to indicate that the point pattern in ferrets is influenced by temperature as it is in...

Bill, did you mean that it seems that full nose pigmentation is a somewhat recessive trait? If so, I'd tend to agree but haven't seen enough litters with any...
