[blackbelly] Name and breed

[LDKM1422]

Coloration seems to be what adds so many different names to the ABS line.  A 
GSD is a GSD no matter what color.  Crooked tails or too much curve 
disqualifies it for AKC registration, but it's still a GSD.

>From what I'm reading this AM the catch all phrase is primarily, Corsican or 
Barbado(Caribbean ancestry).  Color and markings classify mine as ABS.  My 
polled ram is still an ABS though polled and unregisterable as such.  If he 
consistently produces polled offspring he becomes an american BBS.

"The American blackbellies are considered a Corsican Sheep"
"The Corsican Sheep: The Corsican is most often the result from crossing 
Mouflon with Barbados, domestic sheep have also been used. Mouflons bave been 
crossed with argalis, bighorns, and Dall sheep , resulting is a great variety 
in 
coloration, body size, horn size and horn configuration. Large and spectacular 
horns can result from carefully managed breedings. Other examples of Coriscan 
sheep are the white "Texas Dall", "Black Hawaiian", and "American Blackbelly". 
These breeds are listed below."
