I feel your hope. Just know that Im not making any statements about anything different. I have no problem with anyone discussing there opinions, I just want to make sure no rumors get started that anything has been proven. As far as Im concerned she is just a realy nice normal. I t doesnt mean I wouldnt be stoked if it were something different (which is why Im trying to prove it out) The color contrast in my recent clutch is impressive but keeep in mind that the father probably isnt a pure childrens. I realy dont know anything about him. Judging by his dark coloration I presume hes a mutt like many out there. As far as why there was such a nice division in color contrast between the babies......that remains a mystery too. It could be due to the father or mother.

The only thing Im concerend about is getting the male I just purchased to breeding size since he came from the same mother as my adult female so I can start producing babies that I can lable as pure VPI line. That will have a nicer ring to the adds.
Eventualy my goal is to raise some babies from the pure VPI bloodline to see if the color does fade like their mother.

This will be a long project. Hopefully in 5 or 6 years Ill have an exciting verdict. Either way theyre still sweet animals.
Brendan
