[QUOTE="yellowbelly, post: 8117325, member: 42308"] IME (with another breed) you need to be very careful how you go with that. Before you know where you are, you'll have recessive black genes polluting the main population and black bu66ers turning up all over the place, where they are not welcome. I have no problem at all with people wanting to breed black sheep (of any breed) but, IMHO, if they are going to be registered, they want to be completely separate in a separate society of their own. Otherwise there is a big danger of the 'tail wagging the dog' when people with a handful of sheep (which, let's face it, don't fit the breed description) want to start changing things within the main society. Breed society politics can get very nasty and black sheep can be a very controversial subject. [/QUOTE]
