I'll get a good picture of Marigold when I can.
But, I think there may be some explanation as to why they seem so similar. (Marigold and Zamia)
They are more closely related than I though.
Cowboy and Cowgirl were twin brother and sister.
Tsuga is a son of Cowgirl. So, Cowboy is his uncle.
Rocky is a son of Cowboy. If you look Rocky was closely line bred.
The blank spots in the pedigree is because those animals were AGS registered.

Looking at Zamia's pedigree I think that's a strategy for line breeding a great buck
Tsuga is the sires sire
On the other side he is the dams dams sire
But how do you know you are line breeding the right buck ?
