Black Hawaiians are a cross with a Mouflon and a black sheep found in 
Hawaii.  They will breed true to their color.  The Painted Deserts are 
crosses of Texas Dall/Blackbelly sheep.  These hair sheep are color breeds 
bit are treated as seperat breeds of sheep.  Sue

So what is a Black Hawaiian sheep and how does it fit in to the hair
sheep family? I had assumed they were just solid black (mismarked)
blackbellies, now I wonder. And where did the name come from, creative
marketing? They don't seem to breed true, witness the Bronze Hawaiian
offspring.

Then there's Painted Desert sheep, which seem to be pinto horned hair
sheep.... I understand the rams are quite expensive.
