If something is that dominant then it's likely to flood the market and, hence, the prices for them drop pretty rapidly. The very first one that I know of sold at auction for around 3K so I guess for the moment betweek 2-3K is a pretty fair price.
oh yes! definitely. Dominant = ewwwwwwww!!!!!!!!
Sadly that's what I feel a large part of the community is feeling.
(Yes I read your post below Daki)
I'm glad some breeders still breed gorgeous red tabbies, red and white tabbies, azure, fire, ody splash, ody sorbet, grass (we need more out there though!), and other *ugh* dominant traits. In the case of tails, whiskers and ears, of course, it seems more of an accident and so there are more mysterious, curiousE, frisky, white mysterious whiskers. Or they're kept under lock and key, like the sometimes peeking booboo whiskers or even Ody Wonder, as Kay mentions (not that Kay mentions it in any way that suggests she agrees with this -that's for her to say).
Yes I know...my wrist will be slapped at any moment. i'm used to it.
BTW: why is a cat with a super recessive fur and one or two traits waaay more expensive than 9T red tabbies? Definitely NOT because a lot of effort and kibble went into its breeding.
Are new traits no longer very valuable?
