there are a number of different lines that are named and tons of ones that aren't. Klingenberg, Lemke, Russo, RioBravo, plus maybe another dozen or so big name lines. plus count less other pure lines from hobbyist that only had one or two pairs and didn't bother to name their line and most of the big names had multiple line with in with in their groups. one of the websites says they have produced over 400 pure hogs and that was a few years ago, and they didn't label their line. if you take even 10% of those hogs and breed them the number of pure hogs out there just keeps going up. and then there are all the people doing line crossing so you take a Riobravo and breed it to a Sears and then to a Klingenberg and now those pure hogs are still pure but no longer a said line. So many people get overly concerned with said lines in my opinion, but in truth there are a lot of pure blood lines out there that never got names attached to them. so go with a breeder that you know and trust and some common sense. here is a hog i produced from wild caught stock (again no name to the line they only ever had 3 babies).
