Hog Island- crosses or no?

[Sevo]

Pure All the way. Once they are all mutted out, we aren't getting any more pure hoggs

I agree, but as Jimmi said it has to be from people that are trustworthy. That is why I have done research after research on the hoggs. I found them all over kingsnake.. but, when I spoke to them, they all could "promiss" me that they are pure until I asked for lineage and old breeders and they had no idea... So, i didnt buy them.... and then this popped up.. like the heavens opened up!!!

... now I know those are pure for sure and I got ground level stock that is not washed out. Why, they came from one of the best.. thanks again Kara.

I will never cross anything with the females, but the male I will breed to a hypo for sure..

I think the key to this is, to do what is right by you. I cant hold everyone's hand and make sure they are doing the right thing, and we all know others are going to do it.... just look at KS.

But, I know I can make sure I AM doing the right thing.. and that is how I will build a great reputation. Great stock, that the lineage is trackable, and honesty.. you can cross all day long with those two ingredients.

(thanks guys for having a clean discussion.. it is nice to get great responses without name calling and mud slinging.. I really do enjoy reading what others think and feel)
