That comment is kind of funny, if not bit hypocritical, isn't it?

Call the rosys what you want, I have a much bigger issue with breeders representing rosys as healthy that are carrying IBD and other pathogens...

I do not need to promote "Pastel" to sell rosys. There is something different about these relating to either 1)a genetic basis, or 2) a development deficiency/insufficiency. Only time will tell. I found it odd that my proven albino female produced these in her third litter. If there is a genetic basis, than it can lead to other possibilities. The other albino female producing some pastel looking rosys is a true pastel looking albino herself WITH BLACK SPOTS. In this latter case it seems to be pigment intensity related. I might post a picture of her later.

In the final analysis, phenotype is what sells, and sometimes different phenotype presentations are more easily differentiated with a characteristic name. I intend to select names I am personnaly comfortable with or put a smile on my face and get people excited about rosys again. Don't loose any sleep over it.
