I see where you are coming from. I agree, there wasn't any disrespect to Ralph. I think the Pewter differs a bit because it is geared towards the pastel (black or cinny). Therefore, I agree it is a good idea to say black pewter or cinny pewter, rather than just pewter. If you look up pewters you find both versions. The only issue I see is that the king part of kingpin refers to the lesser form. So saying butter kingpin, to someone new, sounds like butter lesser pinstripe--especially if you are looking up names online. I'd be more inclined to call it a queenpin rather than kingpin if the butter gene is involved (don't like that name). I like the name Emperor just because it leaves no doubt that it refers to the butter version, not the lesser. Regardless, excellent animals! Imagine crossing a cinny butter to a black pastel lesser....it would be a sweet animal but naming it would be interesting



good post
