There are many advantages here... Island forms are usually dwarfed... meaning they breed at a smaller size.

All of the RFs currently available from the islands are introduced... non-native. This is the part I like best... most of those island RFs were introduced by... the Britts... at least that's how the record goes.

125 pounds a pair... that's unreal... what is more unreal... 90% fruit... that's definately an animal dealer. Hey... the price is right... it is a unique race... who cares.
