OKay, so this is the year of some serious breeding, being out of college and all.

So my problem : I noticed some people selectively breed their dinkers, while others start from the floor and breed them to normals.

I don't know which approach I should take, as I have many unprovens and dinker projects. If I start from the ground, and breed dinker x normal, at least I'll know that the dinker is the source of anything unusual and exactly what the gene looks like. Then I could work my way up.

If I selectively breed, and I get something awesome, that would be great. But then I would have to work my way backwards to find out what came from where.

Im pretty sure that Im going to put the unproven calico to my yellowbelly pastel. I know what that the female is probably a calico, and that's that.

My main dilema is this pair:

Armani





Lassie





I think lassie is just going to turn out to be a nice blusher, and wonder if she should go with the pastel yellowbelly as well ... ack I dont know I'm so confused!!!

What do you guys do?
