Quote:I think it's equally damaging to tell someone new that they can never pull out a TR using anything but a dominant trait.
Remember, in this discussion, you only have ONE cat with the new True Recessive, so you have no choice: ALL choices are dominant to your goal.
Quote: I, however, get there quicker breeding more recessive traits to the TR.
To be clear: You mean you like more recessive traits which are dominant to the True Recessive since there are NO traits more recessive than the current True Recessive.
When designing a breeding program there are only three choices:
* More recessive
* Equal to
* More dominant
How much more recessive or more dominant does NOT matter. Anything which first the criteria will work. All which fit the criteria work equally well.
Much of the discussion has been about approaches which have various other effects and how your choices help you wend your way through them.
Breeding hidden true recessives.
