See if I got it....
Okay, so I've been doing some planning on future breeding, and I want to see if I'm correct in my analysis.
Let me begin with this question. How many different partners is it okay to breed a male with in a single season? I've read that even four or five times would be okay if the little man's up to it.
Anyway, I've got a male diffused, and plan on breeding him twice, once to a diffused, where I'll get all bloodreds.
The other, I'm planning on is a charcoal, which should give me all normals het diffused, het charcoal...right?
Then, If I then breed the siblings together, I should get about:
9/16ths normal (66% poss het. Bloodred, 66% poss het. Charcoal)
3/16 Bloodred (66% poss. het Charcoal)
3/16 Charcoal (66% poss. het Bloodred)
1/16 Pewter
Pewter is what I eventually want to get, but my question is this....How many generations is it okay to inbreed? I would like to pair the Gen 1 sibs together as many times as it takes to get a Male and Female Pewter. Now, by crossing these Gen 2 cousins (or siblings possibly) is this going to cause any problems?
Oh yeah, please correct me If any of my calculations are off.
Thanks guys.
