Dark Pastel

She doesn't look very dark at all! I think she's pretty nice as far as pastels go. I see nothing wrong with breeding her once she is rehabbed, but that might be just me. Would love to see some other opinions!

Well I'm no expert but I think she looks nice. Breed her with a nice pastel male.

I second brobertson. You made her sound a lot worse than she actually is. How large is she right now? If she's already in that 1000g range, she may be more or less at her adult colour although she could still brown out more. Only time will tell.
In my opinion, I would say darker Pastels do best when paired with highlighter genes like a Vanilla or a a Fire and less so with pattern morphs like Pinstripes or Spiders.

She is nowhere ready to breed. She is about 350g and I am pretty confident that she will brown out some more.

Bump...

Well, she probably will brown out some more, but she has nice bright, OBVIOUS yellow on her. When you said "dark pastel", I was half convinced you'd post a normal....

I'd throw her in with a male who's carrying a clean-up gene. Even a "bad" pastel will come out like gangbusters when you combine it with vanilla or fire. Or even a butter/lesser, or even a calico. I'm not real sure what makes a spectacular pastel calico vs. an unspectacular pastel calico, but I bet it comes more from the calico side than the pastel side.
