How do you decide what you want?
In getting Crowley- it was "Hey, we're getting too sentimental about feeding mice, can you take him?" and i said HAWT DAWG YUS
In getting my pastel girl that im halfway on (if that second paypal went through...) As soon as I saw her I had to have her.
In retrospect, I probably could have paid 100$ more and got a sassier looking pastel, but she jumped at me.
Now, eventually, one day.. in the future.. yadda yadda i want a clown. SO. I have been looking at them, different breeders, and what is being offered at what price. Ive settled on what kind of markings I want, I prefer, and have a formed idea of 'the goal'.

My question is, how do you decide which ball you want, how much you're willing to spend, and why? Do you pre-plan what you're looking for, or do you go buy gut reaction mostly? Just curious. I would like to know how/why you chose those that you do..
