White Streaks in a glider's stripe? - 07/24/08 05:59 PM
Sorry mods if this was posted in the wrong area...not sure where it should go.
So, recently I saw a glider with a small white streak right across her face stripe, some on her forehead, and a streak across the stripe on the back of her neck. This got me wondering if it's a sign of inbreeding because a friend of mine told me that if a dog has black nails, sometimes they'll have white streaks in them which means they are inbred. (He had a Dachsaund with it come in so he showed me)
I have no real knowledge of this glider's lineage besides who their parents were which doesn't help much either...and when I mentioned it to Hollis, she said that she has a glider who she got from a pet store and her glider has some white streaks in her stripe too. Both of these gliders are grey females.
So, what does everyone think? Is it "normal" for some to have white streaks in their stripe?
