Yes that will be a very nice pairing and I venture to say you'll get a nice blend of MSP and some leonis in the clutch with probably a few that are a blend of MSP/Leonis.........heck that is pretty much the gammet minus melanistic.

Good luck.

Very nice pair. Ken produced some very nice babies this year and I was suprised he let any of them go....lol.
Russ produces some of the brightest babies with the best head patterns. I love looking at the head patterns on his every year. I can't wait to see what Ken and Russ have popping out this year.

Thank you guys for the kind words. Kinion I think that will work out to be an awesome pairing for you. I have heard a few people say that the leonis/msp combination yeilds the most varient clutches. Gusippe's (I'm sure I didn't spell that right-lol) parents were both leonis. Out of the clutch of 11 I got 4 msp, and the rest yellow, and orange leonis. I can't remember if I told you, or not, but both his parents are orininally from Lee Abbott.
Michelle thanks for the compliments, but I'm no match for the "Thayeri Queen". LOL.
Ken
