as you can tell you can still see the trademark black head and hint of pattern on the sides

Well it definitely started out as a Desert King! LOL

I dunno but that's damn cool, you breed her out and see if it's genetic. Damn near looks like a MBK now.

It looks like a MBK to me.

Just about until you get to sides where the pattern is still showing.

She is incredibly interesting to say the least. Good luck trying to breed that out!
