I kinda did not think it was. I was not familiar with the markings it should have, and the price was right (well not right for a normal but good for what it was claimed to be). The thing that bugs me is I think I might have been given some false info. The guy I got it off of is a decent sized breeder (200+ animals, seen him at a few shows, etc.) He said that he bought it from one of the larger breeders in the country (name withheld as I have no way to verify they sold it as such so I don't want to drag their name into it)..Even went as far as to go through his paperwork and show me a receipt from when he bought it from them (guess that is not hard to fake though). Really don't want any small normal females so this gal shall probably go the way of craigslist. Live and learn
