Your right Rini- laws of chance and probability.

This has been a good discussion, and I'm learning all the time (and
could use to, says my teenager ).
Actually, the incidence of a trait showing up in 50% of the pups works
out if there are thousands of pups...most litters are smaller. With a small
sample size litter of 3 to10, the probability of a pup being a carrier is a
coin flip and not much effected by percentages. All could have it, or maybe
none have it. You can easily get five heads in a row with that coin...
