That's a very strange kind of white marking, indeed...I never saw it ! Looks like Arlequin, without white paws. Maybe you bred a new kind of markings....
I meant: this kind of marking looks unusual, but you must let the kits grow to determinate their colour. If they stay like they're, Blacksable or True Black,...

The rates of the possible genetic causes are not known BUT because neural crest variations affect such very early fetal cells the symptoms vary widely. This...
This is interesting and perhaps it even *hints* something about why cardiomyopathy is more prevalent with neural crest variations which are not earlier...
It is quite interesting. ... It reminds me of my baby boy who is not only partially deaf, but displays all the classic signs Waardenburg Syndrome--bigger than ...
... Well, some of those are not Waardenburg symptoms. The symptoms of Waardenburg are things like a forehead white stripe, wide set eyes, deafness, etc. In...
Please let me clarify. :) As with the original article, this is merely something "to be considered", I think. I unfortunately have a great familiarity with ...
I just saw this on the news this morning. The potential for such a vaccine may result in more cancer vaccines and hopefully, as this one was successful in...
There are a RANGE of types of genetic variants which can affect the extremely early fetal region (which exists before organ development) known as the Neural...
Actually, from the research I've done on WS, it looks as though it may be implicated in the white body markings, as well. WS Type 4 is associated with the...
It was. :) I am only suggesting that we look at the hypothesis in a even more broader view and consider that (the) unexplained hacking could be just an...
Ah! Understood! One thing that has long interested me fits in with Joan's note. Before there was a breeding emphasis which greatly increased the proportion of...
Here, you go on that interesting aspect. I found the study Joan mentioned. It is from 7 years ago so it would be good to find more recent follow-ups and...
What I find intriguing is that people are discussing this as a problem to be further investigated (which it is). but not what to do about it. If this is a...
