Hog Morphs: The first ones?

mingdurga Sep 16, 2011 10:56 AM

In the old days there were only eastern, western, mex, and dusty.
Curious about when did these gorgeous morphs first arrived on the scene?

Kevin Rhodes posted a very complete list of morphs, the founder, and the history a while back. Do you still have it Kevin??

I can try to look it up.

The albino mexican hognose and albino southern hognoses were earlier than the albino westerns as I recall. Pastel pink was first followed by orange albino and then the hypo/tpos.

Very interesting history. Notice the albino mexican hognose and albino southern hognoses never went further, just the westerns. Or did they?

Thanks,

Mike

The southern never reproduced. The Mexican ate her eggs and later died.

That's a real bummer. Gone forever or maybe an intergrade with the westerns in the future.
