There is no doubt about the fact that the entire eastern complex was widely crossed and these were indeed the early days of striving to create as many new morphs and morph combinations as possible. The original albino Florida kings, at least the ones I saw in 93, were obvious Cal king crosses.



Despite this, there was nothing you could cross a goini to that would increase the amount of red. You didn't get a hi-red goini by crossing it into easterns or Floridas you got it by aquireing and breeding the best goini and holding back the best of the best. This is just my two cents but the strategy behind developing a hi red line of goini pretty much ensured that they were among the least compromised lines available in those days.



Now if a few zealots want to call out all hobby generics as hybrid crap that's a point of opinion I've learned to live with but calling out a specific line as was done earlier with blaze only demonstrated a poor understanding of the animals history and husbandry.
