Like so much, it would be 50/50. You might or you might not. There is no way to set reasonable figures on breeding, unless you breed infinite litters. Each one is different. I know some people do set percentages, but you can't depend on that. Or, maybe you can. It is 50/50 if you can or can't. I love statistics.
