Who was the first breeder of Florida Fancy Zebras?
From: Roy Beckham From Garrie’s book and many other sources, Hazel Kipp of Tarpon Springs, FL was the “first” breeder and marketer of the Florida Fancy back in the early ‘70’s. You have to figure that she was producing “Silver Isabel” birds as well. Garrie also notes that other breeders in TX were breeding birds of similar color and calling them Texas Fancies. We’ll tip the hat to Hazel and say that she developed the mutation.
