Next: Lesser vs Butter

[ajeff]

Well, my little mojave female came in this morning. I knew when I got her one of the projects was to produce me a white animal. I know there are several ways to get that BEL I have been looking for. Mojave x Mojave = good. Lesser x Mojave = Better. Lesser x Lesser = the best, at least from what I have heard. I assume Butter x Mojave is probably about the same as a Lesser x Mojave.

I had thought about getting a lesser for several reason, one being the off chance that you actualy don't need a lesser sired from the platinum daddy or one of is "normal siblings" to produce a platinum daddy. I know according to everything, to produce a platinum, you need one of those animals sired by the platinum and a sib. otherwise no platty for you. It may be the same with butters too.

Right now I am thinking hey, these lessers are great, you can do a bunch of stuff with them and if I get a 2nd string lesser and end up with no platinums, I cannot say I would be suprised. I am not sure about the butters, they are probably about the same as far as genetics go.

Okay, enough rambling. The question I pose is simple...
One of the end results are a BEL. This was one of the intentions of the Mojave. Now I am thinking how do I want to go about it?
Get a Male lesser to breed her or a male Butter.

Butters are a bit harder to come by, they cost a little more (I think 1500). You don't see as many butters as you do lessers. On the other hand, I could get a lesser and use another 500 (or a bit more) bucks and find me a pretty pastel female.

So the question is:
Save for a
Lesser
or
Butter?

Both are sweet and very similar but I'm a lesser guy so... lesser

I have an incredible Butter who is been breeding many girls this year. I like that many Butters will get lighter as they age. I know mine has. Lessers are neat in that they are more likely to have a busy pattern. I'm hoping for some REALLY nice Butters as well as a combo or two!!! Butter -- that's the ticket.

i say Lesser but you could just make the lesser by breeding the butter to the mojave atleast thats what i think makes one im not sure im sure ill be corrected here very soon haha

i presonally like the green lessers get when they mature.
but ive seen some outrageous butter to.

but i say dont get a lesser in hopes of producing a platnum... only one person knows how to produce those, and even he's not entirely sure lol

a butter is a natural morph the only way to make one is to get one...

I like them both, I would base my decision on a specific animal. There are good and bad of both.

I'm almost positive lesser is a separate gene, so the only way you can get one is from a mommy or daddy lesser

oh but, I like the green a lot too, so I would say lesser

Lessers are just lessers You cant make them. Butter to mojave would make more bels.

Now... when asking this question I would be a little less biased if I did not have a smokin Hot lesser in one of my tubs BUT... Id say Lesser anyways. Butters are nice, but I just do not like their coloring. The lessers Yellow(which I think makes a Good lesser) is super bright. How can you say no to this?

Just be careful when picking a Lesser out, there are some pretty cheap/ugly ones out there.
