Hi!

I've got some questions that maby someone who has breeding experience or has knowledge about genetics can answer.

When I was keeping mice as pets I used to hang at forums who had alot of breeders. They discussed fur-types, colors and the genes behind them. Many had like one type that they bred and was trying to perfect.

Can 't say I understod much of the genetics but I was wondering if this is possible when breeding frogs and toads? I mean, with species that varies alot in color like Bufo melanostictus. Could you breed these and only continue breeding the ones with the brightest coloring? Will that result in "better" colored offspring?


Now when I think about it. Isn't this what the pacman-breeders are doing? Maby someone with more insight can say a few words on how this works?


Thanks!
