unreferenced article date May 2009 The name Australian Spotted is something of a misnomer, as the Australian Spotted duck is one of the few breeds of domesticated duck s that originated in the United States . John C. Kriner and Stanley Mason of Pennsylvania developed this breed by allowing Call duck Calls , Mallard s, Northern Pintail Pintail s, and various Australia n wild ducks to crossbreed for several years before selecting the desired specimens. The first exhibit of the Australian Spotted began in 1928. Many duck enthusiasts don t believe that Pintails contributed to the acculturation, because a Mallard derivative and Pintail cross renders a sterile duck due to chromosomal differences. However, it is possible for a rare mutant Mallard Pintail cross to pass on its genes to generations to come, leaving it possible that the Pintail did indeed contribute to the specimens. David Holderread , one of the top waterfowl breeders in the United States, has said that he has observed various traits in the Australian Spotted that are distinct to Pintails.
