I struggled for the right word there, I guess that was a poor choice. I didn't want to say "representative", because I don't think that there is such a thing. What I meant was animals that look somewhat like the animals that started the bloodline. I've done all kinds of selective breeding with these things, and a lot of the south Brazilians I have produced (like the patternless ones) probably don't look much like anything you might find in nature. In essence they are morphs. The south Brazilians have always fascinated a lot of us ever since they came in, just drop dead gorgeous animals from the get go. I have made it a point to keep pure versions of each of the King, Belknap, and Lemke lines (though they all originated from the same group of imports).
