RE: Question about Pure
A true pure means there are no traits more recessive than the trait shown. Generations don't make it pure.
Here's an example. I was breeding a few lines of kitties that never had a shade in them. I bred them for over a year from starters. I mixed the furs and traits but never put a shade in them. Over a year later Porcelain popped out of nowhere. The original kitties I started with came from my Lazy Dazies, and they were the starters that could hide porcelain. It was a pleasant and very unexpected surprise.
Back in the day...(makes me sound ancient lol) All new traits were recessive. So it was a lot easier to breed pure traits. KC changed it so new traits have been a mix of dom and rec. I have to admit I'm a purist at heart. I like breeding traits that I know will stick, but since most are using rec traits to pull out new dom traits it's hard to find traits that are going to stick with inbreeding and back breeding. sigh
