[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1126041, member: 55410"] Mulefootedness is no more a trait of Russian boars than being a pig is a trait of Russian boars, I am afraid. As an occurrence, the earliest documented animals go back to Aristotle as the condition is a recessive gene mutation (very rare) but as with any other mutation or genetic phenotype, can be bred for just like size, horn twists, color, etc. and hence the mulefoot breed that was so popular in the past. It is reported that the Spanish brought over some mulefooted hogs in the 1600s or thereafter. So while mulefootedness can occur in Eurasian boars as it can with their descendants (domestic hogs and feral hogs), it is not an identifying trait of Eurasian influence or genetics. [/QUOTE]
