Pete & all interested, Perhaps I can answer this one. Coch-y-bondu' is an old color from England I think. It is similar to the furnace/gold & silver badger but has speckling of black out into the barbs. They are very beautiful and I do not think anyone can sucessfuly breed for them. They just happen and seldom seen on the market. I sell all I produce as soon as they are processed. None for sale at this time. I would go along with your friends advise and use furnace or Silver badger or Gold badger. All 3 will work. Easier than trying to find the C-Y-B. Denny
