Crossing Ambilobe Color Morphs?

[KevinA]

I was wondering about this today. For people that have done it, what is usually the outcome when you breed ambilobe Panthers of different colorations and barring. Like breeding a red bar to a blue bar, or a yellow body to a red body ect. Are some colors dominant and some recessive?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hmmmm, thats a really good question that I'm curious to hear the answer to.

When I saw the title to the post I was thinking it was one of those, "Hey why doesn't everone square off in a debate about integrade/hybrid/locale stuff and get testy towards each other..." posts.

But that recessive color thing is actually kinda cool and I never really thought about it before. You could ask that about any 2 panthers, not just ambilobes. Like eye color or hair color in humans, but seemingly more complicated.

I hear you on the controvercial threads.

I realize that the topic of this thread is complicated and could get overly detailed too. I was really just asking for people's experiances. But I'll take any reliable info someone wants to put out.

im curious as to what people with hands on experience have seen as well.

short answer:
yes.

I'm a real geek when it comes to this stuff
there are some charts and studies that go over the DD and rr traits
basically it's complex and the "best colors" are all recessive.
exceptions noted but it's not a simple thing at all.

Not to mention it's a complete dice roll every time you breed A+B.
but we're working on the situation.

Bloodlines that are labled as "Red Bar" or "Blue Bar" still carry some potential or chance to give off offspring with with baring that is predominately the opposite of what the line has predisposition for.

Very few Red Bar types have solid red bars without some blue inside them towards the lower areas. Veryfew Blue Bar types had blue bars without red outlining around them.
