Clear to Carrier ?

[Jason E.]

When breeding a EIC clear to a EIC carrier what ratio of the pups will be clear and or carrier ?

EDITED: Bad guess on my part.

Thought it was 50% clear & 50% carriers.

50/50 statistically,,, but everything in between is a possability.

My luck they would ALL be carriers.

My FC was in a litter of all carriers.... Clear to Carrier...

I'll take the carrier, just not a whole litter.

The same logic also applies to a carrier to carrier mating. You will on average get 25% clear, 50% carrier, and 25% affected; but I've seen litters go as high as 50% affected from said matings.

The stats are a puppy's odds of getting a particular genotype, and each puppy is a separate event. Same as a coin toss being a separate event, and not influenced by the result that came before it.

Seems like so many different out comes than what is expected
