Most people recommend breeding starter kitties with a combination of well traited (i.e. all 9 traits are non-genesis) and retired traits (Furs like Bengal Snow). The reason for breeding with a 9T is that you have a better chance of finding out what your starter is hiding in any of the 9 possible areas. The reason for breeding with retired traits is that these traits will NOT be hiding on your starter kitties so you will know that if you breed a Bengal Snow with your starter and you get a Bengal Snow kitten, the starter is hiding something more recessive than Bengal Snow. If you haven't found Saga's breeding charts yet those will be super duper helpful and will also point you towards which traits are retired and how recessive/dominant certain traits are, etc. She also has a really great document there all about breeding and all the basics to get you started! http://kittycats.biz/forum/showthread.php?tid=2351 You can access the charts and documents by going to that thread. Good luck and have fun!
lots of info! TYSM for the detailed feedback! So, if the babies came back snow Bengal then most likely I would want to go with a newer coat then?
