I have let this one stew for a while, and it is something I have thought about prior to this thread as well.



The only "solution" I see for the situation as it is now is to have the breeder represent his stock as accurately as they can. After that the buyer can either take it or leave it.



There really is no "fix" anymore. The only thing that would come close is if collection of wild stock was open again and a program of locality based records / breeding took place along with what we have now as "generics".



However with what I have seen in the Alterna locality circles that would just provide different topics to argue about. How far apart were they, are you sure it came from such and so, did you get your records / data mixed up, or I just do not believe you.... etc....
