The Hunters guides have been great. I would like to see one done on the Burgandy Hypo. I think everyone with a slightly blushed Ball is calling it a Burgandy.. I am sure they think theirs are Burgandies.. But then again... So do I

This confuses me a little. There are Burgandies and there are Burgany Hypos. The confusing thing is how some people can't tell if their animal is a Burgandy. Isn't there only one characteristic -- being burgandy?

And as for being Hypo, I would think there is also a single characteristic -- shedding clear.

Wouldn't the Burgandy Hypo be fairly easy to distinguish -- being burgandy and shedding clear? Is there something else to this equation?

Please help clear the confusion...

Thanks,
Chris

I really honestly do not know the answer to your question. I was anticipating someone else could shed some light in this matter. I know Vin Russo proved out a Burgandy line( HYPO???). (Never saw them though), and I know RDR has had some set backs proving out his line.. Just again,
Looking for someone with more Info???

Yes we do. Many, many versions of them out there.

Wouldn't it be a rather short guide?

"The Hunter's Guide to the Burgandy -- It is burgandy."

...or...

"The Hunter's Guide to the Burgandy Hypo -- It is burgandy and it is a Hypo (sheds clear)."

Burgs were on the list of Morphs that I suggested we needed a guide to but since there is little know about their genetics it's probably a tough one to cover.

My understanding of Burgs is that originally they included snakes that instead of having the typical black and gold wild type colors - instead had no black but brown or reddish brown and tan saddles. This is were the confusion may lie - I personally think those without the reddish color would better suit a chocolate label but thats just a personal opinion. Also it's quite possible that as the animal ages the reddish burgundy color may brown out a bit like a pastel does - then what do you call it? LOL. A guide would be good.

And Hypo speaks for itself - I'm also wondering if the proven Burg lines are hypos or not???
