So the end result everyone is wanting is:
normal && female && design A = use image A
alt && female && design A = use image B
normal && male && design A = use image C
alt && male && design A = use image D
But I'm guessing you don't just want one design, but, potentially, many designs? In the case above, if "design A" were "midnight sparkles" then you'd be able to have a pet with this design on both male and female pets, alternate or not.
It's like paintbrushes back on Neopets, only, you also have to take rarer alternate versions of a pet species into consideration, too. If a user is blessed with a rare alternate, they want it to still look just as special when it has its design applied!
I think what's going to need to be done is an entirely new approach. You'll want a new column in the database to hold the design names.
I'll see if I can look into this soon, but it may take a while. ^^ I was actually kind of wanting something similar.
