You should have first hand knowledge..



Not to be arguementative, but as far as I have seen when breeding 2 f1 hypo x hogs together you can get some sunsets, super hypos, some hypo x hogs, some hypos, as well as some super blonds, normals and co-dom blondes..



At this point the numbers in litters pan out that they are their own morph type. I think more breeding needs to be done to further prove this, but thats how it looks so far. I'm sure enough that we pulled the sunsets off of the sale list untill It can be further proven. Even further than that we lowered the price on the co-dom hypo X hogs from what this line here normaly sells for 1000 to half of that.



I don't see why it's so hard to believe that a boa as different looking as a hog is, could be a morph.. Look at a super hypo sonoran boa they are dead ringers for hogs less a hint of a difference in saddle shape due to their locality difference.



If you were to take a handfull of hypo sonoran boas and throw them onto and island over a long enough time span you'd end up with nothing but supers.. I personaly think it's already happen on Cayos De Los Cochinos. Natures funny in that the same type mutations (morphs) pop up within completly different location of the same SSP.. Just like sabogae island boas due to their bottle necked ecosystem the hypo gene has won over that boa population.



I doubt it is going to make any difference in hog prices because they are what they are, I just think it's interesting they have been over looked.



My 2 cents anyway...
