>>Just curious. Comparing the breeding of snakes and dogs, mutts are seen as various species of dogs bred together. They have no traceable heritage and aren't sought after as far as I know. Now is doing the same thing with snakes simply producing mutts? Sure hybrid snakes are somewhat of a new thing and get a nice price now but does anyone else think that these will eventually be the mutts of the reptile industry? Purebred dogs get a much better price due to the selective breeding of pure animals because people know what they are actually getting.
Using that comparison then actually 'breeds' of dog are just 'morphs' right? And hybrids would be wolfX dog or coyXdogs.
And hybrids do have traceable heritages and are sought after....or else, gee, why would they be bought and sold for moderatley good prices.
Purebred dogs go for more money because people don't realize that purebred means nothing compared to championed or not. Champions are dogs that best meet breed standards. Purebred is just two dogs that are papered with a lineage in the same breed and says nothing about correctness or quality. Like me taking two 'so-so' corns and getting more 'so-so' corns. Vs getting two totally great looking corns and doing the same.
Did I feed the troll enough? Or are you still hungry?
