Hi, I have not had a lot of time to follow the genetics thread, but I saw Regina Harrison's post where she mentioned that somewhere in this discussion it was said that sable ferrets were the "original" ferret. I'm confused, because I thought the original color of the ferret was white/albino and it was the mixing of ferrets with European polecats that caused the sable ferrets. Would someone please set me straight? If I'm wrong about this, then I have been giving out some incorrect information.
