Sorry I can’t answer the questions but I do have to agree with emma&chester. Sossij does not resemble a pearl WW and instead is a classic example of a hybrid. Breeding hybrids comes with an array of problems - birthing complications, and lots of potential illnesses due to the fact that winter whites and campbell’s are entirely different species with different traits. There is a lot more to them than just their colourings, the difference in body shapes for example can cause lots of problems. If you really want to breed winter whites I would really urge you to find purebred ones either at a show or breeder and make sure you have fully researched beforehand.
