Breeding hidden true recessives.

[Barbara Collazo]

I'm sorry--I'm a new breeder, but I just don't get this. For any two furs, the chances are always 50-50 that you will send the hidden trait to the kitten. So what difference does the showing trait make? Still 50-50, no matter what the shown fur is.

Yes--you can't show it in the second generation because it will hide behind the dominant fur. But back breeding or sib breeding should work.

Please explain why which fur (or whisker or whatever other trait) makes a difference.
