Well perhaps violets aren't violets, and sapphires aren't sapphires... maybe we need to do genetic testing on them because it was not done. I can assure you that if you test standards you will find MANY genetic differences, are you going to dispute that they are not all standards? A standard out of a white or beige would genetically be different than a standard out of a std x std pairing, so should be DNA test all of them as well?
From my understanding two animals, a "gold bar" and a "RW" from two different herds, proven to be that from pedigreed information, that bred to a standard would only produce a standard carrying the color gene were crossed which resulted in colored offspring identical to both parents, who looking strikingly a lot alike.
If you would prefer for me to write that entire abstract in a research paper I can. The information will still be the same. The "control group" of which there were two, would be the individual herds that the "test group" came from.
As of right now, you appear to be the only person disputing this. I believe in science, but not as much as I believe in common sense. If you want to piss and moan about it then perhaps all "humans" should be tested because we are not all genetically identical. Would that make me any more of a human than you because you have traces of neanderthal in your DNA?
To satisfy your inquiries that obviously are not founded by evidence here I will make you an offer. I will provide you with genetic material from both a gold bar and a recessive white, you do the testing and get back to us. Personally I don't see what your deal is because I see that you have two chinchillas, do you plan on breeding either RW's or Goldbars that this would affect your future plans? Or do you chose to just attempt to sit around poking holes? Since standards are much more influential, I suggest you start with DNA testing the standards to ensure they are all standards. If your money is not spent then perhaps you should move onto the dominant white, of course comparing it to standards that are "pure" and standards out of a white.
