Inbreeding?

Doug89 Jul 19, 2007 03:19 PM

Hello everyone!

I know there are 2 main bloodlines of Pastel's that i know of, and maybe there are some i do not know of.

My pastel is the Graziani bloodline, and i wanted to breed him but i didn't want to breed him to another Graziani, i wanted to put him with a female NERD bloodline.

Perhaps i just do not know enough but i have a perhaps moral/ethical opposition to inbreeding? THe only thing is the NERD Pastels are a bit too steep for my liking.

Suggestions / information that can help would be great!

Thanks!

All of the lines are so outcrossed by now it won't matter which you use.

Your concern is a good thing but people breed fathers and daughters and mothers and sons together with no problem. Some people even go as far as breeding siblings (which imo shouldn't be done even if the offspring look normal).

that said, so you should have no problem at all.
