Thank you very much Steve for you level headed reply. Also, please forgive me for any propagation of misinformation in my endeavor to sort this out.

Rumor, heresay and conjecture thrive in environments poor in original knowledge and in my limited experience, this particular issue seems to be very poor in original knowledge being shared openly for access by those who are sincerely interested. For this reason it is especially refreshing that you've come forth to offer your account.

Very interesting story. I'd love my animal to be a pure ruthveni for a few reasons; the biological importance, breedability as pure, and aeshetics.
