Believe me a lot of serious breeders don't have a clue about the genetics behind there cats or understand the level of the articles written on Messy Beast
. If those type of articles are taken as gosple then a lot of Colourpoint breeding programs would fail. Those type of articles stae that when you mate a Colourpoint to a Colourpoint carrier then the resultiing litter
will be 50 % Colourpoint & 50% Colourpoint Carrier . On paper this works out but in reality the chance of a Colourpoint kitten is more likely to be about 25 - 30%. The practice of using Colourpoint Carriers has drastically reduced the number of Colourpoints born. Obvious to me as the self gene is dominant over the recessive Colourpoint gene.... but there again what do I know
.
