    They are all pure Barbary Sheep (i.e., on a species level they are pure); but they are not pure on a subspecies level, unlike, say, Barcelona's group, which are pure Libyan Barbary Sheep (A. l. fassini).

    In fact, I think Barcelona's are probably the only pure-subspecies Barbary Sheep I've seen.
