Hi Martin,
Normally a 2n=8+12+12+12 would be an IB. In going through the parentage of
BLUE WHISKERS, it looks like it is probably 8+8+8+12 or possibly 8+8+12+12.
BLUE EYED BLONDE is an IB. We introduced as an IB a bright golden yellow self
with deep violet beards named VIOLET EYES. However it is a very short IB,
sometimes falling into the SDB height range. The pod parent was a blue-bearded
coral SDB, but we don't know what the pollen parent was. We think that it may
have been an IB which could have produced a mixed up child.
