    That is correct. Hog Islands are a specific locality of BCI. But hypo hogs have to have some Colombian influence in order to carry the hypo gene. Some hypo hogs are more "hog" than others - once the hypo gene has been introduced, the animal can be bred back to a pure hog and still produce hypos. The hypo gene is dominant, co-dominant actually. So some hypo hogs actually have very little Colombian in them. But all hypo hogs have to have had some Colombian influence in order to get the hypo gene. This is the only gene that has been indroduced in Hogs thus far though. And they are still considered a specific locality - although, if hypo, they are not 100% pure.
