How To Check For Albino/Melanism Carriers

Posted 2020-11-27 01:55:35 (edited)

I decided to make a public spreadsheet with a list of wolves that have been scried to known carriers and their outcomes. It's pretty basic for now but I believe it'll help everyone keep track of who's been scried and if any of them return a positive result. Feel free to help me keep this updated by sending me the IDs of the wolves you scried and how many times they were scried. I hardly ever use spreadsheets so I'll look into polishing it up more in the future but this'll do for now.

This is going to be pretty helpful if enough people put data towards it. Hopefully down the road it can be a pretty useful guide if you're looking to breed these mutations.

I am more than 100% willing to keep this updated. I'm online practically all day and checking in regularly so this is a project I am willing to maintain for the community as long as everyone contributes data.

I can help put towards some research, pick a few studs and scry when I have the spare SC isn't a hassle. I'll be sure to give an update the next time I scry some wolves.

All right. I'm going to begin slowly scrying the potential carriers that are listed in the TC. Already tried one but unfortunately after 5 scries, still nothing. Shame because 30 SC would have been a bargain for anyone.

I have a confirmed carrier I almost sold. Breeding her today to try for a mela pup

That sounds exciting! I hope it turns out well for you. If so I'm definitely willing to add your wolf to the confirmed carriers list.

This is her and the mela scry popped at try #6 using her and the MOOF as the tester stud, so there was a guarantee of no deep blacks to be mistaken due to base chances

I checked her family tree and she's not related to The Moof which is absolutely awesome because I want to see new melanism carriers unrelated to him. I assume if this is all correct there is another carrier she's related to in her family tree that passed the gene down to her.

For a mutation to occur between two wolves that don't have the mutation both parents would have to be a carrier, seeing as the only way to get one is with a carrier x carrier breeding. So both parents of the wolf would be carriers o:
