Say people start breeding and selling them. Eventually the offspring will breed and be the offspring sold. The offspring of hybrids would not be microchipped, so it would only be helpful for F1 generation animals. Also, if the hybrids are bred to pure blood animals, it may be hard to tell the offspring apart from the pure blood animals.
i agree.. but if we educate ourselves, and others about the posibilities of hybrids, the better off well be. like i said, hybrids are going to hapen, so it is up to us, now, to set a solid foundation as to how they should be handled/cared for/kept.
the whole reasion i was wandering about chipping was because of what you said,,, " If a bunch of people start producing and selling them, the hybrids could eventually make it into keeper's collections that are against them." If we (as breeders) were to be responsible and do something such as chip offspring, if there was ever a suspition, it could be detected.
this is just an asumption, but i think that mainly when a hybrid would be bought, it would be bought soely as a pet. giving the sucess rate of breeding these hybrids would be enough within its self to deture any "fly by nighters".
truly, i dont expect to produce any in the near futuer due to the breeding sucess rate.
