There is Jorge's (sp?) page where the genotypes of BEW's are listed. One
picture is of a BEW and it's genetics are listed as cbcbefef. I'm hoping to
work on "colorpoint" schimmels and I know at least one or two others that
are/will be working on that combination in the US. I would expect, however,
a L/CP schimmel to be a true BEW ... born white, stays white, and without any
ticking.
