| Well, Yes & No. Koi do not breed in a true bloodline manner as do dogs or whatever. More often than not the most sucessful parent koi are not that beautiful themselves and maybe never were. Many GC koi have been bought and then bred with poor results. On the other hand great marketing gimmick to sell baby koi based on famous parents.
I can give lots of examples of famous GC koi that never produced GC offspring (to my knowledge).
