Take a look on KS and you can get an idea of who they are. I recommend supporting the smaller breeder with the pastel purchase.

Hi Jay,
I understand what you are saying

But to be fair to the people in this business I have to say that not everyone that has specialized in breeding certain morphs should be branded as running a mill.

There are several breeders that are known for their Pastels, some who are known for their Albinos. Most have branched out into all morphs but they did at one time breed more Pastels or Albinos than anything else.

It's unfortunate that big breeders are thought of in such a way that people would rather buy from smaller breeders than them. Many of them don't deserve the criticism that is bestowed upon them. But then again, some of the wounds are self-inflicted.

I think that people should buy from whomever they feel most comfortable buying from, big or small, and I agree that the smaller breeders need to be supported by everyone, whether by verbal support or by purchasing animals ... after all, without the base levels of small breeders and hobbyiests that support the upper echelon *tongue-in-cheek*, this business would all tumble down.
