Since most if not all of the Mussuranas/Baron's in the Uniterd States came from Dave, would like ask him how many different genetic lines he has sent over here. The reason I ask is because we're starting to see inbreeding issues in pieds/super pied mussuranas here. Thanks!

What inbreeding effects are you seeing?
When I visited him, I remember a good dozen or so animals. Considering when I brought the first ones into the country, we should be on 3rd generation (F3?). I haven't seen any defects with my own animals, but I can't conclude anything about my stock until next year when sibling to sibling and parent to offspring will be done.
I have had 2 distinct lines from different countries. So there is some mixing of lines out there. If you think there are need for more lines, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay are open for exports.
