Since you like her, here's another older pic ...





and the male I used to get lots of red into the mix...





In my experiences and observations, the more "patternless" you start with, the better your chances are of getting better and better results if that's what you're looking for.

I always get a mix of sorts and the occasional banded one too.









Most of mine have always had some "pattern" as they were young and I've never started w/a totally "patternless pair to see just how good they can get. I was shooting for color since at the time it seemed to be the thing to do.

Even the adult female at the top has some "pattern" if you were to look at the right angle and in the right light.

Since I lost the adult male above, the timing of getting the wc male (1st pic in my first reply)couldn't have been better.

I'll have a pair of holdbacks up and running in a year or so as well.
