A w/c pastel doesn't have to produce a SUPER to prove out. It just has to produce other pastels when bred to a normal. That is a poor example since pastels are a very visual morph in anyones eyes. What gets me lost about the Yb is all the post on THIS VERY forum that say "IT COULD BE ONE" when aomeone asked if they have one and post a pic!!! Breed it and prove it out people tell them. If het Ivories (YB's) are that identifiable then why would anyone say it COULD BE one? Either it is or it isn't, correct? Wyatt if you call it a YB then YES you are saying it can produce Ivories since YB's are het for Ivory. Just because you don't say it those words doesn't mean it doesn't imply that. Now don't get me wrong I HOPE both of you are 100% correct. I was just saying how I'm lost with the PROVEN term being tossed around like that. I have 2 adult female YB's that are pounding rats and getting nice and big. I have a captive bred male coming that will breed them both this coming season. I just hope the w/c females are receptive. If I get an Ivory and I think I should if both lay. That will prove to me that mine are definate YB's but I would still be LOST when others call theirs proven lines without producing an IVORY!! I just want to reiterate that I'm in no way knocking either one of you 2 gentelmen. I was just stating my confusion about YB's. By the way Jared you emailed direct and said I had a definate YB when I posted her pic on the forum a few months back. However another big name posted she was not a YB so that just added to my confusion, lol. Hope you both have great breeding successes. thanks Ron
