I'm pairing my female platinum mosaic with my male leu. I don't see anything wrong with it....She's my avatar.

I don't think the issue is so much breeding leu to mosaic, as it is breeding a leu with questionable genetics (from leu to leu pairing) into the mosaic line.

I would think it would depend on the glider's individual lineage, not just Leu to Mosaic. If a glider has a high inbreeding ratio, then they need to be bred out so to speak - or not bred at all. Both on the Leu and the Mosaic side. I see some really bad pairings from people who should know better... and, even if I could afford a leu baby (or mosaic, for that matter), with some of the lineages I see, I would not get those even just for a pet.

I think what everyone is worried about is the lineages... Not putting leu to leu or mo to mo but BAD lines with anything that will not help breed it out.

Humm well I wonder why I have been warned that if I ever paired a mosaic and leu together the whole community would throw a hissy fit. There are alot of great breeders with leu/mosaic pairings. If someone doesn't like it, too bad for them. You're your own person and can do what you want. You, obviously, know the rights and wrongs about breeding(no inbreeding, etc...).

Very true Nichole. I might argue who actually is a great breeder and who is not but not this thread and not today I just wanted to hear what other people thought of the pairing and if there was something I was missing.

Lol, I guess I should rephrase that: Some of the most reputable breeders happen to have leu/mosaic pairs.

I don't have any leu's or leu hets.. but I have always wondered.
I understand you say leu to leu is bad because they are so closely related.....but leu to lue het isn't.
isn't the leu and the leu het from the same line...just one has the leu color and the other carry...so wouldn't they be exactly the same in heritage....
so, if breeding to a het is fine..why isn't breeding to a lue.
I don't understand the genetics I guess.

I think it really depends on the type of het, if that makes sense. If you take a leu and cross it with, for the sake of example, a gray then the babies all only get the leu genes from one side of the family, so those are bred-out hets. If you have a leu and a leu-het (or two leu-hets) breeding and they produce both leu and gray babies then the gray babies aren't really as bred-out, as both their parents are from leu lines. The actual coat color of the babies really doesn't matter nearly as much as their ancestry matters, and the diversity of ancestries in both their parents. So crossing a leu with a bred-out leu-het would be safer genetically than crossing a leu with a het from two leu lines.

I don't understand the genetics I guess. Actually, it's not recommended to breed a leu or 100% het to anything higher then a 50% het. A leu, 100% het, and even 66% het are pretty much the same thing. If you have 2 100% hets that you pair together and they have a leu and a gray glider then there's no difference between the leu and the 66% het. :/ A 50%, however, would be one generation bred out. There IS an exception to the rule: some hets are from parents that were lower hets that proved out, thus, technically, making the babies lower hets.

Two brothers of the same lineage, (one a leu one a 100% het) if you were to breed them to a female leu whether it be the 100% leu het brother or leu brother would be the same EXACT thing. Genetically speaking. I really dont understand why alot of people think just because one is white it makes it any different... Responsible breeding is responsible breeding, keeping mind of lineages and relations. Of course there is a question of long term health, but I wonder myself about that since genetically the same genes make up the 100% hets as do the leus they just carry them differently.

ok, so you never breed a lue to a 100% lue het...that's where I was confused...I thought that was ok, hence why it made no sense.
lue het to a mosaic is a smart thing, right?

Hmmmm. Never heard of that rule... of Never breed to a 100% Leu Het. What then if one breedes a Leu to a Normal? All of the offspring from above.... would be 100% Leu Het with 50% of their genetic makeup coming from the Normal Gray Gene Pool. ?????? As for breeding Leu x Leu... I think most (including myself) are against it due to the two Leus not offering some diversity to the Pedigree of the offspring that are a result of this breeding. As to breeding Leu to Non Sterile Mosaic Line... I see nothing wrong with it unless the Mosaic is also a 100% Leu Het and is paired to another Leu that is closely inbred. breeders are pairing Leus to Mosaics due to demand for lighter mosaics. The offspring if colored command a higher price ticket.

I guess that would probably fall under the "exception of the rule" as well.;)

Well thats what I mean though, leu x leu if related distantly enough isn't any diffrent than breeders breeding 100% hets to leu's for white. Genetically its the same. With all the breeding out that is being done, the lines are getting farther and farther out. If no mind was paid to the color of the gliders, genetically they have the same make up. Breeding 100% hets opposed to leu's doesn't offer any diversity... Or does it?

Like Judie and Guerita said, a 100% het from a leu crossed with a no-leu-background gray would provide new genes. Genetics can sort of self-repair minor faults along the way as long as they have unrelated, healthy genes to correct any gaps. The problem with inbreeding is that both sides of the family have gaps in the same genetic areas, so those areas get weaker and weaker and can't repair themselves. Crossing a healthy, non-inbred gray (or other healthy, non-inbred, unrelated color) with a leu would provide new genetic information to help patch up some of a leu's potentially weak genes. The 100% hets from such a cross would in theory be safer to breed with a leu than a 100% het from two parent gliders both with leu in their backgrounds. Crossing them out even further would add even more fresh genetic repair material, which is why lower-percentage hets are even safer than that. So it depends on the background of the 100% het you're talking about.

100% isn't the same as the actual Leucistic... Their dominant gene is obviously different. The Leucistic glider, is obviously white and the 100% het glider, is obviously not white. In my experience, and I believe the same holds true for many other breeders out there.. You will prove a lower% het a lot quicker if he/she is paired with a Leucistic. When paired with another het, even if it is 100% het, it seems that proving the lower% het takes longer if the dominant gene isn't Leucistic. Does that make sense? It may take so long that you believe that the 25-66% het isn't a het at all. Every "lower het" that I've kept, that has had time to be proven, has proven themselves as 100%. Recently I had 25% hets prove themselves as 100%'s.... and in doing so, FINALLY proved their mom as 100% too. I've only ever had their mom with lower percent hets, and never a Leucistic, and to this day, she hasn't ever had a leucistic baby. Anyway.. I may be wrong.. but Twins-- one leucistic, and one 100% het-- do not carry the exact genetic makeup. Just like in humans... Twins, are not identical, unless they are IDENTICAL. =)

Bec, you are totally correct. A 100% leu het has 1 normal gene and 1 leu gene a leucistic has 2 leu genes. So, their genetic make up is different. But, their pedigrees can be the same. That means the same level of inbreeding...

Absolutely! I agree that regardless of 100% het or Leucistic, you still have make sure they aren't too closely related. That's the tricky part!

As hard as I try to understand all this... it slips right out.
It must be related to Biology.
And that is why I will leave the breeding to people who know what they're doing.
But I am curious about breeding leus to mosaics too. Even if I don't understand the answer.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
The aim of education should be to teach us how to think rather than what to think.
The difference in involvement and commitment is like a ham omelet. The chicken was involved. The pig was committed.
