| breeders are Cullers
That's it. That's the only thing that has to be there to be GC...the color can be a little off, the pattern can be "unique" but the conformation has to be there to be GC.
Koi are terrible, breeding beasts gentically encoded is the mechanism to have as many variations as possible in every spawning.
If this fish had the breeding mechanism of an animal that relied on producing duplicates of the parents like a dog or duck then the hobby could establish varieties that were more identifiable, and established patterns could be solidified within the varieties.
but as it is the koi breeder will chase shadows...black and orange ...and catch White lightning in a jar..the emphasis will never be about breeding but about culling...
I wonder if we should call the breeders, "cullers" instead....lest yuo think I've started another thread within the thread I haven't...Koi are terrible breeding beasts...hence the eye of the breeder...errrr CULLER.
just another way sideways thought
