I had the same concern about Petey, our roan piggy (may he rest in peace).

So I asked about it on GuineaLynx, and they told me that being a roan pig, in and of itself, is not a problem. It's only if they breed with another roan (or dalmation) pig that can be the cause of lethals being born.

Since we do not breed in any way, shape, or form; that put our minds at ease that we didn't have to worry about Petey having health issues due to being a roan.

Thanks for this. My pig is roan (although the light hair has been shedding out lately) and I was a little anxious until you posted this.

Your welcome, catipig.

I know how you feel. I was so worried about Petey when we found out that he was a roan. I started imagining all kinds of horrible things happening to him!

So I bossed people around about bossing people around about bossing people around? I thought they said they would have made their username that. I was confused! The way they went about telling people what to do and telling people to lock stuff was just bossy and rude in tone.

I have PMS. Inappropriate infos.

The ONLY people who get to "boss" people around on this forum are the Admins/Moderators. It's not the members jobs. I've seen a couple people on this thread telling members what to do regarding rules and it's not for you guys to do. Leave the moderating to us moderators.
