    If your asking if that's a pastel then yea it is 100% a pastel. The harder question for anyone to really answer is the line of pastel. There's a video from NERD where he was showing off a ton of babies and he gave a couple of things to look for in his line. I remember something about neck striping and holes in the stripes. I'll try and dig up the video for you.

    Lemon Pastels tend to have extreme yellows and blacks and very little to no blushing.

    Unless you purchased it directly form NERD it is impossible to say if it is 100% Lemon Pastel, but that really doesn't matter. It has the look of a Lemon, and is a really nice pastel no matter what line it is.

    Re: Sold to me as a Lemon Pastel?

    Ya that was more of the question. I was more interested in the lemon side of the question. It seems there's a fine line between lemons and normal pastels to me so if you could dig that video up it would be appreciated. And thank you I thought she was a good lookin gal myself.

    My guess it that she is a Lemon, if not she is closely related to one. Most people will say that what line a pastel is doesn't matter, there are great Lemon Pastels, and terrible ones. same is true for the other lines. What really matters is that she is a good looking pastel, and that you like her.

    Unless you bought this animal from NERD or a reputable breeder that works with the lemon li e acquired directly from NERD it is IMPOSSIBLE for anyone to tell, pastels have been around a long time and lines have been mixed so depending from whom you purchase her from she may or may not bee.
