Something tell me that there is a slight diference between pups of the same mat...........
And I can select it...........

Ae Ae is a special case. It is a genetic chimera. The differences among pups have to do with how much of the mix of the two cell types each pup gets. Pups with different appearances (phenotypes) will not produce pups with the same appearance in this case, i.e., it is not a stable sport.
