RE: Back Breeding
Thank you for your feedback Tad.
I appreciate that back breeding tends to remove other desirable traits or strengthen any present non-desirable genesis traits too.
My initial main priority simply was to create a Russian Black with passion eyes and vampire ears, regardless of whatever other traits were present. In doing so, I have created a six-traited vampire cat. I guess, after successive breedings I can manage to achieve a seven (or perhaps even an eight) traited cat before I find myself at a dead end. However, I have set up four independent back breeding projects, all with the same end result as above. I wanted to maintain the integrity of each and so decided not to swap cats between these individual projects. When I reach a dead end with each of these, I will have a seven (or perhaps even an eight-traited) cat in each independent project. It was then my intention to use a cat from each independent breeding strand and then inter-breed these to try and remove the final one or two genesis traits.
I don’t know what the most effective way of achieving a nine-traited cat is, but I hoped that this method might be one means of achieving it.
Finally, I intend to use back breeding as a way of making the genetic background pure, simply for the fun of working on the project.
