What is Arabesque? Arabesque is the pattern mutation originated by Steve Hammond. Arabesque does not refer to the narrow head shape that arabesque possess. Yes the narrow head comes from the original stock, but I think it is the locality they came from which render them the narrow head, not the gene responsible for the arabesque pattern/color. Let's say the original Arabesque came from a Colombian X Suriname breeding. The babies had the arabesque pattern, but the Suriname head shape. The head shape would be from the Suriname's different build due to different demands and evolution of it's region of origin, not from the gene making the arabesque pattern. Again, just how I see it.
