"hog island" responsible breeding, oppinions?

Well I was set on breeding my female hog to a nice hog male until recently when I talked with a few people saying it would be irresponsible because I don't know her history nor if she is 100% pure(although I am pretty sure she is). I can't for the life of me remember the breeders name that I bought her from so this is where you guys come in. Breed her to a hog or breed her to a morph and list the babies as such(hog x _______).

Is breeding a BCI with a BCI crossing?

Is breeding a BCC to another BCC crossing?

It all comes down to what you think. if you are honest with about the parents then go for what ever you want. I have pics of all breeders so when anyone asks I show them.

Be honest and do as you wish. IMO

I would breed them and just make sure to represent them as what they are. I am all for pure and locality herps but also like hybrids/crosses if they are are represented as such.
It's not like you will be re-introducing these into the wild. Just my thoughts.

I really think you should get rid of it to me and I will breed it to my " I don't know if it a pure hog boa." I was going to breed mine to my female super salmon, since I do not have a nice female hog. I don't know if mine is pure either, or what lineage. I bought him for $150 locally.

I think they both look like Hogs to me. Don't see anything to indicate anything else. Why not breed it to a Hog? As long as you don't try to slap some lineage on it that you can't back up, no harm done. Just tell it like it is.

I just wouldn't want to dirty any pure blood by accident. If I bred her to say my suri x salmon, there would sn't pure, I would feel like crap for selling the babiebe no mistaking its not a hog, this female "hog" x a proven pure hog, if she was as hogs. Would people still want them if they knew that the mother was from an unknown lineage? I am seriously considering keeping her for other projects and buying a hog from someone with known pure animals.

I agree.

Breed her to your Hog male. Don't claim any linage you can't back up. You can't get any more honest than that and I think people would want them.

They sure look pure.

Makes sense. I don't blame you for that. And if you told people you didn't know the females background, you wouldn't be. Plenty of people buy Boas who don't breed too. I did it for more than 25 yrs before I ever let them breed.

Jake, tried as hard as I could to make sense out of that. But I failed to do so. Try it again a little slower eh.

Bottom line is, do what feels right to you. If you feel wrong about breeding her to a hog male, than don't.

Meant to add....Personally, I'd feel bad about breeding it to anything but another Hog.

Ok, i'll see. I think she would help make some killer hogs!

Most Hog Isle's in collections today aren't near what people believe them to be Coarse they were duped on the sale,but 9 times outta 10 theres supportive rhetoric "proving lineage" from every seller out there.



Just do a 2:1 breeding group tween a morph and a classic and be content with which ever gets the job done.

Best Of Luck with whichever you choose
