I got this nice alterna pair among many other cool things from Anthony(antr1)recently, and he believes they are "Juno Rd." locale from Wayne Sanderson's stock. He told me that you know far more about the details of these than he does, and to ask you to verify this info. So if you know the deal on these, and can verify the locality, I would greatly appreciate it bro.

thanks a bunch!, ~Doug

When it comes to locality specific animals they are only "locality specific" when the history is known beyond a shadow of doubt. When you say you got them from Anthony who "believes" they are juno roads, then they are GENERICS. If Wayne Sanderson can positively ID these animals as products from his juno road ancestry, which must also be beyond the shadow of doubt, then they can be referred to as "juno Road" locality alterna.

A king may move a man, a father may claim a son. But remember that, even when those who move you be kings or men of power, your soul is in your keeping alone. When you stand before God you cannot say "but I was told by others to do thus" or that "virtue was not convenient at the time." This will not suffice.

gee!, no kidding??..LOL!

That's exactly why I didn't say they WERE "Juno Rd" locality.

Let's not have the entire alterna forum "clan" start piling-on just yet, huh??..LMAO!

I just looked at the post and see that I may have ruffled some feathers over here (lol). I was only trying to make it clear what "locality" means. I have seen alterna at shows and on the internet that were being sold "as" something. This kind of false representation is taken personally by people who make the time and effort to produce authentic locality specific animals.

You did not ruffle any feathers. just that you need to check in here and read more often. Your post is something we all adhere to and has been discussed into the ground.

They are being shipped out today along with some other animals, and they are going out as DEFINITE "generics". I fully understand about the corruption and misrepresentation that goes on in this hobby. I see it all the time on a daily basis as well.

best regards, ~Doug
