Ed, if you breed a polygenic pastel to a polygenicpastel, you get a better ratio of pastels than if you breed a pastel to a normal. Now, you will still get varying degrees of pastelism by breeding a pastel to a normal, but fewer will be real deal pastels. I don't think that if you breed a hog to a colombian, and then take the 2 most colombian looking babies from the litter and breed them together, that you will get 25% of the litter that looks pure hog island. I just don't see it.However, I am not making claims about them being dominant either, so it is not my place to prove it, as suggested by an email I got reguarding this. "Breed them and see".
Breed a poodle to a german shepherd. Take the 2 most german shepherd looking babies, breed them together...you wont get many poodle looking babies out of that.
I guarantee that the litter will however still be 100% mutt
