Require A Small Working Strain Of Ferret.

[Phil Lloyd 10,739]

Its like the merle collies they say you shouldnt put 2 together,i have one of them at home and see a few hancocks dogs done that way to nothing wrong with them.

 

 

 

Obviously,..only a fool tells another hunting man, what he should, or should not do...so I won't...

But,...(in my opinion)...it is not advisable to make a habit of breeding two Merles together...

you can breed albino to albino, as you have allready been told sliver to sliver could be a bit risky there nothing wrong with albino to albino litters

It maybe just me but I don't reckon most albinos are pure unless you personally have kept the line going for twenty years or

so how you going to know albinos can crop up in a poley to ,poley mating . The thing with breeding feck ups is if it works it's called line breeding and if it don't it's called in breeding

If you cross a 'pure' poley with an albino, every kit in the litter will be poley coloured but will carry the albino gene. Albinism is recessive, that's why none of the kits will be albinos. If you then cross one of those kits to another poley bred the same way, each parent carries one poley gene and one albino gene. There are 4 possible gene combinations for the resultant kits -

# poley/poley (poley coloured)

# poley/albino (poley coloured)

# albino/poley (poley coloured)

# albino/albino (albino)

 

Because albinism is recessive it only occurs when both colour genes are albino. So if you cross albino to albino you can only ever get albino kits - neither parent carries the gene for any other colour.
