I am just interested in what people with experience with Sika think so I can add that to my knowledge

Hoping they get a Douglas Score and run over the Withey score to check for whether there is conformity; that is the measure of whether something is "hybrid" or not - it's got nothing to do with some bloke on a forum with no personal experience with Sika saying they look funny....in spite of having "a very good ey e for assessing animals" - I'm sure if you read your comment again, you'll realize how silly that sounds....
Not a dig mate - just an observation that there is a bit of prejudice and skepticism around Sika with any suggestion of Red influence - rather than just saying: "Good job mate - I'd be happy to hang that on my wall."
