Brimmer 220 Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 (edited) 1st mating collie/grey 4 / 8 - 4 / 8 2nd mating grey/collie grey pup will end up 6 / 8 - 2 / 8 3rd mating collie grey / collie pup will end up 5 / 8 - 3 / 8 Then the fraction is unworkable, so split into 16ths The 3rd mating is 10 / 16 - 6 / 16 mated with a grey again, the collie is split = 13 /16 - 3 / 16 Crikey that took some thinking about!
