Help with pastel identity

bigdee Jul 28, 2004 02:28 PM

Could someone direct me to pics of low grade and high grade pastels? What do you look for in a pastel? Im trying to see the difference between low grade and high grade, im not a pro and i may be purchasing a pastel and I want to make sure its a good one. Thanks to all those who apply. I was going to send out MO today but will wait for you all to reply

Sorry I dont have any pictures, but i do know that having a high end pastel or low end pastel doesnt really matter. I have seen browned out pastels throw out unbelievable bright yellow and black offspring, and Smoker adults throw out brown pastels. Granted some bloodlines are known for being better then others, but all can throw out good ones and bad ones. It could have alot to do with what normals you breed them to also. I am sure a nice high contrast normal has something to do with nice bright hatchlings. If I am wrong, please correct me. I am just going off of what I have seen.
