I don't think Pete did a lot of outcrossing to breed better color into the animals in the beggining. He was interested in production and had one het female that produced for him 7 years in a row along with other breeders. The corals were a few selected animals out of all of the litters that had that different look. I think Pete really started to outcross for appearance with the stripe line which was several years after the first corals.
