I have a couple questions. 1st, my WFB leu het boy is paired with a CG leu het and out of their 7 joeys, one was a leu and the other 6 have all been WFB. Another breeder told me that would make him a "super WF". I've never heard of that before, is there such a thing and is there a % of their joeys that need to be WF to make him one? 2nd, With daddy throwing all these WF joeys, does that mean that those joeys would have a higher chance of throwing WF joeys themselves?

tbull - the way I understand it, the WF gene is dominant. So, if they get one, they are WF. sounds like dad may have 2. If so, all his babies will be WF. But, the kiddos will only have one since mom is grey.

I heard Brandy use the expression super white in relation to Sir Lance as he had a number of joeys and all of them were wf regardless of the mother's coloring....It is the only time I have heard it though...His son - Bingo - who is our first glider has beautiful coloring...he has been paired with only wf's....first Jinxx = one set of joeys 1 wf, 1 cg and then with ZaSu (after Jinxx passed) they have had a total of 8 joeys and 2 were cg the other 6 were wfb....hope that helps a little

Thanks for the info, most of their kids have gone to non-breeding homes, but I will check on the others. I hadn't thought anything of all the WF joeys until I was going through their history for a possible mom.

The WF gene is co-dominant, I believe, that is why you can put two WF together and still get a grey. I haven't ever heard of a Super WF, so Moving this to Breeding & Babies

If we never loved, then maybe we would never feel pain. Love anyway. It's worth it.

Basically, it is like the punitt squares you learned about way back when... Ww breeding with Ww. The W is the gene causing White-Faced, the w is the one causing gray. ___________W ______________________w W ______WW (white faced) _________Ww (white) w ______wW (white) _______________ww (gray) So, there would always be a 25% chance the baby would be gray if the parents were both white-faced. But - it sounds like a WW breeding to a ww, which would look like this: ___________W ______________________W w ______Ww (white faced) _________Ww (white) w ______Ww (white) _______________Ww (white) So, all the babies would be white-faced. Of course, this is simplified and there are probably more than one set of genes that controls it.

Ok, I must be tired, but that hurt my brain. Orion is a 1st gen WFB and Star has no WF in her background at all. I must have just gotten lucky. Besides WFs, their joeys are all sooooo sweet.
