Yeah, hets carrying the Amber Blood Red mix were one of the reasons I decided to abandon labelling hets. Every year I have to create a ton of new pages of labels, and it was just getting WAY out of hand. After having to run over to house to print up another set of labels after a dozen or so new sets, I just decided this was CRAZY.
Seriously, people just don't want to pay enough for hets to really be worth the trouble of keeping track of them. Even for my own projects, I am much more less inclined to even hold back hets except in the initial project stages. Before, I would hold back any single homozygous offspring that were possible hets for the one or more other genes necessary to make my target complete. But the NUMBER of animals I was keeping has just gotten ridiculous. So I just keep the fully homozygous animals and don't even bother making notes of the ones that are possible hets any longer. Just too much work involved with little return on the effort expended.
