Note : 286F is the Daughter of 215M and "Half-Black" [Daughter of 42F and 21M] which makes her the Grand-Daughter of 21M. 21M bred her grand-daughter in 2004. 529F, 569F and 694F are the daughters of 21M and 286F BUT ? 529F, 569F and 694F are also the Grand-Daughters and Great Grand-Daughters of 21M if we view 286F ancestry. Well it is hard to describe..... Basically, he mated with his grand-daughter [286F].

*Note* : I transferred this thread to my forum : The Domain of the Wolf and updated and added many informations from the multiples sources I red. Hope it is understandable. Also, there is a problem with the spacing between texts sometimes which i can't fix. Sorry for the inconvenience it might cause.

Although all the informations are based from my review, searches and documentation of my searches on the Internet, some informations can be, and are, inaccurate due to new papers coming out, new genetics analyses, etc etc.
