For example:

Pastel is a phenotype

Pastel Dreams are a bloodline

I think the Pastel dreams are awesome, however I think when you say bloodline you are saying it is a genetic trait that will continue on its own...is that right?

I say that unless red is continually added by selective breeding, it will dissapear.

The phenotype "Pastel" is not defined by color in any way, shape, or form.

I realize what the rule book already states, but I sumwhat dissagree. If Pastels are produced by stringing a known characteristic in a boa to accelerate and accentuate that known trait then it will reverse when the stringing stops.
Black is dominant.

The bloodline "Pastel Dreams" is known for high red (thats what Jeff bred for, pastelism allowed him to do it more effeciently).

I answered this statement above.
