Did You used to sell offspring to Ken Davis?Curious because I purchased a Midas from Ken Davis at the ACA 2008 and He said it was from Reagans big head line.

Wonder if the Ken got the parents of mine from you as well. Mines were purchased from Ken in 06.

I talked to Ken a few months back about the parents of mines but he has gone through a few breeding pairs since 06 so couldn't tell me exactly which pairs they might of came from.

May I ask why?
If you were linebreeding for specific traits, as I would if I had a line as awesome as yours, you would keep it in the family.
Inbreeding doesn't result in deformed/undesirable offspring as quickly as one would think. It takes quite a few generations of inbreeding before you can start noticing undesired traits in the offspring. On the other hand I've also have F0 pairs throw deformed/undesirable fry.
IMO, inbreeding isn't quite as bad as everyone makes it out unless you're starting with bad breeders.
