The mutation is estimated to have been first noticed in remnants of such sheep dating back to 1500 AD. The Ancon sheep is a breed of artificially selected and reared sheep, with long bodies and very short legs. The features of this sheep are caused due to excessive dwarf mutation, which often ends in crippling.
Charles Darwin mentioned in 1868, that such mutations in Ancon sheep are very rare in the wild.
The breed of Ancon sheep was allowed to go extinct in 1876.
