The Calico genetics are chaotic and capricious in their color representation, with great changes throughout the ontogenesis of the animal. In this case there is no relationship with leucism, but we can appreciate a very subtle game in the appearance of axanthine. You have some specimens with a very faint red color (at the moment) with an imposing white wash, this probably comes to determine that in their evolution, these specimens develop a streaky red / white from the line called Candycane. And we will have to wait a few years to see if black makes its appearance, how and in what way?My opinion is that, as with other genetics, through selection we can reproduce animals with more marked factors than others.
