    Rating this Enchi..

    So I'm in the market for an Enchi to add to my collection and for breeding plans but I'm not really sure what exactly to look for since I never had one or seen one in person. I've been doing my research and a lot of ppl said to look for a bright, golden or orange color. I found this one here for a reasonable price and it's from a reliable breeder. She was actually a hold back for him but he said if I really wanted her that he'll let her go. Please let me know if I should pass or buy.. Thank you!

    Typically better = brighter, and reduced pattern. That girl looks nice IMO.

    She looks nice but the spots are undesirable. If the price is right I'd get her, otherwise you could do better.

    Honestly, the more I look at her the more I question whether she is even an Enchi. The color along the side of the belly isn't right to me. It's hard to see the head to see if she has the 'mickey mouse ears' that enchis have.

    If it's a reputable breeder don't listen to me...

    This is my enchi female - see the 'clean' orange/yellow area along the side? That's a quality I would not go without on an Enchi. I'm not sure I've seen an enchi without it, actually. They color better as they age and that clean region is a good indicator of how well that will happen. You can also see in this pic how the light colored bands along the eyes enlarge where the 'ears' would be and brings that light pattern up toward the top of the head - forming little 'mickey mouse ears'.
