Re: [blackbelly] breed standards

[Carol J. Elkins]

No one knows for sure how many of any percentage are on the American 
continent. For that matter, I'm not convinced that the country of Barbados 
has any idea of how many "fullbloods" are in Barbados.

But progeny testing is the only method available right now that can help a 
breeder correlate phenotype to genotype, regardless of what percentage 
Barbados Blackbelly the genotype represents. I probably should have used 
the word "correlates" instead of "matches."
