Buying Jungles

DanW Nov 06, 2008 07:03 PM

When buying jungles is it better to select the best of the best or is it true that even low expression jungles will produce the jaw dropping ones?

Thanks,
Dan

Only my opinion and have not produced a single jungle yet.....

With most pairings the babies tend to fall in a bell curve around the characteristics of the parents. Speckled parents make speckled babies, thin saddled parents yield thin saddled babies etc.

I believe that's the same with jungles. I picked up a pair from Mark Hauge last year and they are stunning, produced from two very nice jungles produced by the Barkers. As I understand it, the litter was almost 100% clear between the supers, jungles and normals. Only one maybe jungle in the group.
