Wikipedia of Breeder Information?

[xiaohuang7]

Just an idea... since there is seemingly a hole of missing compiled information, but can we start some sort of running list or document or spreadsheet of:

breeders / their addresses / specialities / parent stock used / web address (if any)

Something like that would be very useful. Is this something this board could implement, like in Wikipedia style, where users (or certain users) can add, update, correct & revise information? Or maybe a feature in a Koi Bito issue, or a separate Koi Bito publication every few years or so?

Maybe a lot of this info already appears in that 'blue book' you can get in Japan... so if it exists, anyone know if there's an English version and where you can get your hands on one? I don't think it's readily available to the general koi public, like me, and to be fair, it probably only covers Japan.

Just floating an idea that would be very helpful in studying koi.

Koinut had kindly directed me to the Koistaff website on bloodlines, but it's fairly limited.

That would be nice, the breeders seem scattered.
