what about when to use the male of one and the female of the other..???

does the male carry the dominant genes? as for crossing 2 strains mainly..
If you have questions with breeding---I can help. To answer your question you will have to breed both strains ( A-fem x B-male) then (B-fem x A-male). Each individual strain(male and female) will have dominate and recessive traits compaired to the strain you cross it with. My suggestion would be to start with strain you want to come through the most as your fem first----------
example:
A-----You love this strain
B-----Your second fav strain

Try (A-fem x B-male) first and grow out at least 10 to 20 F1's from this cross (assuming both A and B are stabilized strains already) Dominate traits should now show as majorities in your F1 populations(more F1's you can grow out the better). If you don't find what you are looking for then you can try the other cross next(B-fem x A-male) and follow the same F1 selections for desired dominate or recessive traits.
