I don't know where this came from but its very confusing to new breeders. This is something I have also heard at some auctions I've popped into and that really infuriates me. New breeders look to auctioneers to know their stuff and be able to advise them. When we have auctioneers telling their audience that a dominant trait CAN be hiding behind something KNOWN to be more recessive, it hurts everyone.

Heck yes i've seen this multiple trait claim in a selling post a while back but didn't think the idea was at all widespread.
Obviously from some peeps who've recently migrated from Roos or something.

KCs is a structured trait breeding system which allows us to develop exactly the traits we wish to and not a crap shoot random game like some others i won't mention here.

As for auctioneers not even knowing how the product they're selling works, well the mind boggles and these ppl should be politely advised to go do some schoolwork .

Repeats - Only ONE shown and ONE hidden per trait and A DOMINANT TRAIT CANNOT EVER IN ANY CASE BE HIDING BEHIND A MORE RECESSIVE TRAIT !!
