Your saying that the phenotype does not mirror the genotype.

That's not at all what I said. I said the genes that are on the outside,
that we can see, are a very small portion of the total, and therefore thinking
that because you and I both have champion black and tan German shepherds of 26"
in height and 90 lbs in weight with dark almond shaped eyes, strong backs,
complete dentition, good movement, 8.5 to 10 proportions and good temperaments
means that they must be closely related is just a mistake. Environment +
genotype = phenotype. Your example of the 10 littermates, one GV, one a poor
specimen so one could randomly breed to any of them doesn't work either. If
they had
identical DNA, they would look identical and one wouldn't be a poor specimen
and one a GV.
