Can you breed different types of pastels together and still get pastels? Will you just get a mixture of the color/patterns of the two lines? Also, what is a 'jungle' pastel? Does this refer to the color or the pattern or anything? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help clear this up for me.

Pastels are considered "Co-Dominant". So you can breed a pastel to a normal and you should, on average, produce about one-half pastels and one-half normals. If you breed pastel to pastel you should get pastels, normals and super pastels! As I currently am aware ALL Pastels that have been bred together, so far have produced super pastels. But every line of pastel has not been bred to every lne of pastel yet, so some may be incompatible.

It's correct if you are talking mixing any combination of Pastel Jungles, Blondes or Lemons...BUT when you breed any of the aforementioned Pastels to a Black Pastel or Cinny- then you get Pewter Pastel! Fun, huh?
