pastel?

gabonica2977 Jul 09, 2006 01:01 PM

wouldnt it make sense to breed different lines of pastels to each other to try and bring out the best traits of the two lines? Are they not compatible? just curious.

that I purchased from MKR 05'. She kinda looks like both and MKR kept a super version from that same clutch. I love to outbreed and as you say why not out breed lines of Pastels? I am surprised more people have not out bred the lines already?

I have not photogrpahed her yet. If you would like I will post photo's as soon as I photograph her in a few weeks.

Um...
I'm no expert or anything...but how could it look like both if it's a pastel?

The offspring would get a pastel gene from it's mother OR it's father...
if it looked like both...it'd be a super.

what i mean is that some lines are known for their high blush content and some for their intensity in color(orange yellow) and others are thought to hold their color longer. cross two lines to bring out the traits in one animal. jusst refine them basically.

UM,

I said "kinda" which means "sorta" which means a little. I did not in any way state that she looks just like both but I did say she is from both and that she does kinda look like both. Nothing extreme by any means but she is both lines. That is a fact.
