I think you should birth the baby for a couple reasons.
1. There is no proof that Kira does not have Tranquility or more recessive hid so some kids have to have Tranq hid but some may have more recessive. If her hid was proven, it would be simpler. Just because the Gen Water has Ody ell hid, does not mean the Ody Bell dad does not hve somthing more recessive hid. And while many cats have pure ody bell eyes because it was most recessive at one point, her hid would still need to be proven because hids pass for generations. Although I'm sure Fabio would have found the dad's hid if diff from ody bell, still needs to be proven. However, showing more proofs would be a pain. Since yo only care about the Moss/Tranq proof, birthing the baby solves the question.
2. Even though the preponderance of evidence is Dukat has Tranquility hid (and I think he does), there should be one proof in there that proves it as visual confirmation since we don't know Kira's hid. But why waste the time proving his hid when you really just want to prove Moss/Tranq hid. We really don't need another ancestral proof.
3. And this one is my real reason, if you birth the baby and pop the hid against something more recessive then it is a one-chart proof and you only need to send one chart to Saga and they only have to look at one chart. Also in the future if someone needs to verify the proof because a few eyes need repositioning, one chart is easiest to verify. With this many charts, it suggests a preponderance of evidence. And hids can pass for gens. A one-chart hard proof is best, in my opinion.
Knowing how irrefutable proofs have to be I have in fact already birthed the baby because it may well be it provides the proof before I can get the proof Kira came from one of Fabaos pure Ody Bellini lines.
I will of course be asking him for that when I see him but since his time is so limited at the moment its not something I can expect quickly.
Kira was bred repeatedly with many other eyes recessive to Ody Bellini and never threw out anything otherthan Ody Bellini. Other cats from Dukats line have also been bred with eyes recessive to tranquility and again nothing else has ever appeared.
So the baby was birthed straight after I posted this morning and with luck yours will shed results and this will simply be a second confirmation once tested.
