I am hoping to start keeping and breeding hoggies and would like to know more about the genetics, e.g. the morphs and which are recessive or co-dominant ect... Any help is appreciated.
Also, can anyone explain the 'het' thing to me?? Thanks...
I am totally clueless on how morphs are made, but there are others that could fill that in. The 'het' thing is what genes it could/are carrying.
For example a person that has a ginger haired dad (lol) but has brown hair himself could be classed as het for ginger as he's carrying the ginger gene.

That's the easiest way I can explain it myself.

I found a GREAT site. It has several topics on genetics but I'll give you the address for the Intro to Genetics. I found them helpful but you really have to sit down to digest the more advanced topics. My head was hurting for a while. Here is the intro site: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/genetics_intro.html It's general not specific to hogs though.
