Linda,
Of course, the original SDBs were bred by crossing TBs with true dwarfs,
mainly I. pumila and its derivatives. Subsequent breeding of advanced
generation SDBs has mainly been by crossing SDB to SDB. A quick review of
the pedigrees of the SDBs I grow does not turn up any cases of backcrosses
to TBs after the first generation, so I would say the sort of pedigree you
are talking about is out of the ordinary.
Looking at the pedigrees of my IBs, for those that have an SDB parent
(which is most, but not all of them), those SDBs tend to have typical SDB
pedigrees.
