Sorry to derail your tread thanks

all i got to say is one of those red JD's would be pretty B A!!!

If you breed the regular female to EB male you get about 25% EB.

Absolutely not true. This pairing produces 100% normal-looking offspring who all carry the blue gene BGJDs. BGJDxEBJD gives you 50% EBJD and 50% BGJD. BGJDxBGJD gives you 25% EBJD, 50% BGJD, 25% JD. EBJDxEBJD gives you 100% EBJD (though usually short-lived). Those are the only possible results.

More likely than a completely dominant or recessive gene, would be a scenario of codominance, or co recessiveness...... a quick test in a genetics lab could easily put this controversy to rest by comparing the genotype of an ebjd to its regular counterpart... im just not sure my boss would appreciate that use of supplies

Some genetic testing has been done, and so far we have only established that the maternal line was pure jd. Apparently, establishing the paternal line is more complicated. I think details were probably posted by NC Nutcase awhile back.

Quit threadjacking! EBJD is off topic, go make your own thread. Man if I could get my hands on one of those red JDs I'd pay tons. Same as above, I'm not a JD fan, but those red/purple ones are SWEET

yea those JD's are nice. i havent had a jd since i was 8yrs old. would be nice to get those red ones tho.

That's a nice JD. Somebody from MFK has to own some and provide more pics

 

[gspille]

I'm looking for them, too. Has anyone found them???
