Totally Tomatoes was the first to offer Big Zac F1, with parents donated and agreed to with Minnie Zacariah. But after one or two years the blurb said to rogue out this or that which was the first clue that something had gone wrong, and it had, b'c what they were selling was NOT Big Zac F1.

This was when Wayne Hilton owned TT before Jung's bought out all of Hiltons companies.

Then Reimers showed up with something that wasn't Big Zac but advertised as such.

I forgot to say that Minnie Z was invited to come to GW at the time and said that TT had lost one of the parents.

I guess the current TT owned by Jungs is again selling the F1, but I didn't check that out.

So I'm not sure what's meant by other strains of Big Zac F1 b'c all I know of is the authentic F1 one and some sold that were listed as Big Zac, that were not Big Zac at all.
Carolyn, do you mean they were creating the F1s from Minnie and then lost one of the parents they were supposed to use to create it? Boy that would be a big fubar .... do you think the F1s sold at TT are genuine by now?
