I know Barry blyth is heavily into the breeding of the "thumbprint" from
the Dwarf's into the TBs, but I am a little concerned at his ideas of which
class they come into. What "exactly" is the difference between a Median
Bearded and a Tall Bearded? Is there genetically any different (by this I
mean.... ratios between tall and median parents etc)?? I had always
thought it was based on heights (i.e 16-24" for Medians, 24" -> for Talls.
Barry however has started labelling things as "Short Talls" (particularly
his breedings involving Buzz Me and Zing Me (I think those are the two
fertile medians with the thumbprints).... which is why I was swondering
whether ratios came into it)
Does anyone know for sure what the go is?
Cheers.
