Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site.

Hogg and Hog?

They're both the same snake. "Hogg" is simply a misspelling that some people have run with.

Thanks
some use hogg to designate a cross..
" a cross" or morphed(cleaned up) variant far removed from standard WT(wild type)
Many breeders like Russo(and others)headed this direction to "clean up" the examples and ruined a good portion of the Hog Isle locales uniqueness.
A breeder first coined the double G after throwing a litter and replicating the production of these clean,high pink variants to wild type.The new "market" took off and fizzled after about 2yrs and was flooded with in 4yrs to its current state with increasingly fewer "clean animals" offered.
There is quite abit more to the story but left untold and behind us is far better for the hobby.
Bottom Line "Hogg" is pure $marketing$ and remains unsupported by any known national dialect.
Stop supporting(buying/breeding) these cleaned up mutts and they will go away.

I thought the 'hogg' term first came about when the salmon/sunset crosses were made? (locality crosses?)
