I think mother nature's pairings show more than any captive breedings, crosses or pure could ever show.
If the labeled "super blondes" were infact a dominant morph, how come none of the pictures I have seen anywhere of imported hogs from back in the day ever looked anything like the hogs we see today? If it were a dominant morph , it wouldn't take selective breeding to make them what they are today. Mother nature doesn't deal in single digit falials. The imports were like f2000, not f1 or f4, and yet these f???? nature gave us which would most certainly ALL be supers are darker, blotchy animals. I think that the hogs we have today are the equivilent of a line bred pastel in the colombian world.Sure, there may be some ultra nice light hogs that came in from the cay, but there are also ultra light clean import colombians. Sometimes nature does the selective breeding. If it were dominant, I would think a lot more of the WCs would have been...well... nice looking.
Anyone got a WC hog they would be willing to pair with a colombian to see the outcome? Ya, didnt't think so, but was worth a shot.
