    Calico Quality. Your Opinion

    I am looking into purchasing this female Calico. How would you rate the quality of this girl?

    Calicos are a bit like Pieds; everyone has their own idea of what the ideal amount of white is. That Calico is pretty dang cool if you like the lower white versions.

    It's upto what standards you hold for calicos? I think it's med white with a pretty cool pattern. I like the neon yellows and blackback.

    Though I can find a lot of good things about any morph .

    Calicos are a bit weird when judging since they are known to throw different levels of offspring.

    I think she is pretty low white, but I like her pattern and overall coloration. Personally, I would probably not buy her, but I do think she could make a good breeder.

    How big is she? What are they asking?

    It's a nice looking cali. I think the picture quality leaves a little to be desired and it probably looks better in person. I think it has a cool pattern and decent amount of white.

    Re: Calico Quality. Your Opinion

    Maybe it's just me, but I've seen an awful lot of ugly calicoes lately, so that one is looking good. FWIW, I'm not really a fan of calicoes, so you may want to disregard my opinion.

    Again a lot of it is personal preference, personally I like high whites. But if your into low white calcs then have at it.

    That is a good price for a well started female.

    I like her. And she doesn't appear to be a picky eater!
