Did you try mating a male without the ticking with all his sisters? You would then be able to identify which female(s) have the gene for small spots and by not using these females as moms for succeeding generations eliminate this trait from your strain. Just a thought.

: In trying to breed a pure Pewter Tuxedo every fourth generation will yield a Pewter with small spots in the tail.

: Either I have bad stock or it's impossible to breed a completely pure Pewter.
