Was asked to dig these out as a record of the proof in the forum of Exotic Journey being recessive to Dry Olive. Instead of adding to the dry Olive thread I decided to create an Exotic Journey one just in case its needed in the future with new eyes.
So here we go
Chart 1 shows a baby with Dry Olive eyes, this was potentially pure as Mum, Bashiga, hid it and Dad, Olivier, was at this time unknown.

Chart 2 Shows The Starter, Olivier, breeding back to a daughter, Bryanna, with Odyssey Bellini eyes, these are Bashigas shown so we know Bryanna hides Oliviers eyes which are Dry Olive or something more recessive.
Baby shows Exotic Journey which is hidden in both Bryanna & Olivier.

Because Olivier produced a Dry Olive baby we deduce that Exotic Journey MUST be recessive to Dry Olive or it would have shown instead of Dry Olive.
If anyones inteested the Dry Olive eyes came from Flannagan, Bashigas Dad.
These cats were bred after we knew Exotic Journey was most recessive and shortly before Galaxy Star was discovered. They are however proof via the backbreed that Exotic Journey is recessive to Dry Olive
