I would like a definative answer too! But the possibility is real! It is even more possible that a WS Speckled King was used, but it's all speculation. Hybrids are mad all the time. that is why so many purists insist on tracing animals back to the original stock. A WS Black rat coold have been bred to a Brooks resulting in hybrids all of which would carry the WS gene. Then you simply selectively breed for the ones that look most like florida kings untill you have bred the Rat influence completely out of it, yet retaining the WS gene. I really hope this was not the case though!
