I was thinking the same thing. The only two Miami females that I have are het for Hypo, which may complicate matters, but I will put the project on my 2007 Project list. A Red Lava X Blood sounds like a project to start in a couple of years too.
Here is a close up of the dark Amel I was talking about that was bred to the Lava in the photo in 2006, which proved him to not be carrying the Lava gene. It is really too bad, because he is even darker than any photo that I have taken of him. He came from a breeding of Het Amel Ice X Same, so he is from the same line and adds to the “dark” theory.
I will be breeding him to some of his daughters for the first time this year, so it will be very interesting to see if about half of the clutches are dark red Amels. His color would be great on Fires. None of my Fires come close to his dark blotch color, and I have a female from Don S that is a real screamer.
