Passing combined traits

"I'll make up an example here, say a gene for a hypothetical trait A is next to a gene for another trait B in the DNA. These always get passed down together because when the DNA splits & combines, it does this in pieces. This means normally you'll either get the A & B genes from the father or the A & B genes from the mother. Now if you were breeding a father with trait A you wanted with the mother who has trait B you wanted, guess what? Without a mutation it's not going to happen, you're not going to the A you want AND the B you want, because that's not how the DNA works. I'm simplifying here because one gene probably doesn't control the entire trait, but I wanted you to be aware interactions of this nature do exist."

I've been trying to create a meeroo with:
- Very short Tail
- Chest Fluff
- Short Upright Ears
- Feline Head

I'm starting to wonder if it's possible :) It would be great to see what other multiple traits people have gotten so that we can see if there is a pattern of what will and won't pass with what.

Post your multi-traited roos! Nevermind coat and eyes, just the TAIL, HAIR, EARS and HEAD.
