I was thinking the same thing.
If the 'hypo'ness of the hogs was a legitimate dominant trait then how come there are not postings in the classifieds for hypo hogs and super hypo hogs? How come when you breed hog x hog you don't get half a hypo litter and half not? I would think because it's not a genetic trait in the way salmon is. I've heard people say all hogs are hypos? Is this guy a hypo? I wouldn't consider him a hypo because he is covered in black speckles even tho there is no black anywhere else in his coloration.
Let me clarify, whey I say hypo in reference to hog isle boas, I am not talking about just seeing the reduction in black which most hogs have but an actual dominant trait that removes all or the majority of black.
