Yeah, ditto on that! :)

It all depends on what you like.

I have a comparison shot here of a Bell Line Pastel and a Lemon Pastel, both good quality animals.

Depending on the breedings, they can come out many different ways...

yeah i can see the difference. it really does come down to a personal preference, but coming from good stock does help. the bell line pastel is on the left? would that be considered a blonde pastel? forgive me if I'm wrong, I'm still trying to train me eye to all the different morphs and the variations that fall within them. both of those are beautiful.

I hope I can help here. I got a male and a female as baby's the male was way bright and the female disappointing, but i trusted the guy I got them from and he said the female will be the stunner at an older age. She is Yellow while he is sort of a tanish yellow

Her she is as a baby
