I bought a cinnamon that might actually be a black pastel?

I bought this girl today as a cinnamon. The picture doesn't show off her nice, long connected markings, but I guess the colors and squiggly markings make her look more like a black pastel? I emailed the breeder for some clarification, but if the answer is that she could technically be a black pastel... I know that by breeding her to a cinnamon I'd still get 25% black pastel cinnamons, but if bred back to a cinnamon, the babies would all be cinnamons and black pastels, right? No 8 balls?

I bought her because she's pretty, but I was hoping for super cinnamons. :/

You are correct that's a black pastel. black pastel and cinnamon makes an 8ball. so if you bred a cinny x black pastel back to a cinny you would get super cinny, 8balls, black pastels and cinnamons.

Yep Black Pastel.... very nice one to be honest :gj:

agreed black pastel

I understand why you're all saying that. I'd say the same thing. But I got her from a reputable breeder with some insane combos, and he says the father's a cinnaglow (the first in the world) and the mother's a pewter... So genetically, how COULD she be a black pastel? :confusd:

If the Pewter was made with Black Pastel it's possible.

Well I even asked for clarification and the breeder says it was a cinnamon pewter. If this picture showed the full length of her body you might see how she's more of a black pastel wannabe. The breeder says he hatches various degrees of colors and some end up looking like black pastels. -shrug- I might as well trust the guy's word and treat her like a cinnamon.

Sorry, I can never figure out how to edit my posts here? Here's another picture:

Ah hey Yote, I was the one over on Tumblr who thought she might be Calico Black Pastel upon first glance. Have you seen her parents? Maybe you'll get some answers upon viewing them.

I'll say that I've seen black pastels that look like cinnys to me (lack of "squiggles" in the alien heads) and black pastels who looks like cinnys (hardly any squiggles with blushing).
