| I dont know why this is even a problem. A size class is a size class...if the koi is 1 yr old or 50 yr old. I read an interview with a breeder...who breeds amazing showa's..but of smaller stature. The breeder was Suzujyu koi farm. It was in koiusa magazine. His mentality was that not everyone has the room for a 36 inch koi...so his finish smaller and win their size class...often. He stated he entered 10 koi in shows that year and won 6 times...pretty impressive at that level. I would love to have one of his showa's...a true ringer in the smaller classes. |
