I guess you are implying that southerns have already been tainted, morphed and heteroed (new word) whereas notherns not so much? Not sure myself. If that's the question, I would have to defer to the more experienced pit guys on this forum...hopefully some will chime in.

If it were me I would do just what I'm doing with my "WTF" LA Pine...nothing, no breeding. Hard to swallow but the purists in the hobby would certainly appreciate it.

The LA Pine lesson is a well known story that may apply to any species, especially those which due to their protection are no longer available from nature so that we have to rely on the current captive breeding stock and its purity. It is sad that some indescriminate breeding in the past has severely impacted that cb population. I among many others wish to minimize that possibility in the future.

In case you missed it there have been some extensive and heated discussions of these issues in recent times on this forum. You may wish to scroll back and read some if you haven't already.

Just so you know, I am a bit of a newbie but apparently the old timers are weary of this volatile issue and so may not bother to offer opinion.

Whatever you decide to do, thanks for considering these issues carefully. It's a big deal to a lot of the hard working breeders who developed our hobby.

Cheers,
Brad
