So this little muffin has finally hatched but has left me a little confused..



Both of his parents show marble... but he shows dutch? Anyone seen this before?

Grandmother on fathers side and grandfather on mothers side show dutch... is this most likely why? Also I noticed his mother carries tailwisp like he does but neither of her parents do..

Wow lucky! Looks like you bred a couple of Bulbori that showed a gene, but both carried a recessive gene of the same slot type. Which resulted in the baby (slim chances here, btw) to pick up the recessive trait. If you look at both the mother and father's URLs for the baby, you can see their g1 trait is actually BC (instead of BB or CC). BB is the official labeling for the Marble trait, whereas CC is the labeling for the Dutch. That basically means both parents show Marble, but they also carry Dutch (so they technically have 2 genes attached to their g1 trait, but because they share a slot, testing kits and the like can't show you that the slot both shows AND carries a gene). I.e. The only way you'd know if a pet both shows and carries a trait for the same slot is to look at their URL.

tl;dr: This game employs dominant and recessive traits for gene/mutation slots that have more than one option in the generator (Dutch/Marble/Spots, Shadow Markings/Tribal Markings/Double Spots, you get the idea). While one is generally dominant over all the others, there is still a slim chance that the recessive trait will claw its way to the surface instead. b

Thanks for shedding some light on this, I really appreciate it.

Do you know if any one has built a list showing what each gene's abbreviations are?
