Excellent attitude! I read some posts and can feel the heat from the screen (usually on different forums though).

While I'm here, my two cents... I look at verifiable collection data as icing on the cake rather than a necessity. I agree that pure locale lineages are the most desirable, but if I see what are obviously pure bulls that have exceptional color for example, the lack of locale data would not necessarily keep me from buying them, but it would ABSOLUTELY keep me from selling them or their babies as locale specific animals. I also would not cross their genetic material into animals that I new were from a specific locale. They would just be pets and only ever advertised as such. Anyone that tries to pass off animals as something that they aren't deserves everyone's wrath, but non-intergrade "pure" subspecies that may be without specific data still make beautiful pets. Thanks.
