So after pairing two normal westerns I had (both with normal patterned bellies and lots of color) I had a baby hatch out with an almost solid black belly.



Being curious I googled this and discovered a thread in which a few folks were mentioning normal checkered bellied hogs producing black bellied hogs.



Anyone know anything about this little 'trait'? It's a really neat affect and I'm just curious if anyone has officially labeled it (recessive) or if its just a random multi-allele kinda thing.
