    pastels?

    i am planning to go to a show in sept and i am planning on buying another royal (the addiction has begun) as i am after a female het pied, but as i live in the UK i am not sure if i will get a het pied there so if not then i plan to get a pastel- could u guys post pics of a pastel that would not brown out, as in the colour to look out for as i like them but would not want one to brown out on me as it would be for breeding projects in future.
    pics and an explanation to explain what i am looking for would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    I think most of your pastels are going to fade out to some extent. I just got my male the other day whos a 07 and you'll see what I mean in fading out. I have not seen many that haven't gotten darker and faded with age. My guy is about to go into shed so I'll post after he has to show you the difference but their probably wont be to much difference in color

    Most pastels will fade with time.. However if the breeder takes care and selectively breeds them then you can get pastels that hold their color well into adulthood

    This male is a 2007 or 08 I forget but well over a year old..

    This is my two pastels. Firtst is an '08 Bell Line Female


    Then this is my '08 Nerd Line Male


    look into the different lines and if you really want a bright one most Lemon Pastels don't fade, just make sure you get it from a reputable breeder.

    0.1 Yorkshire Terrier (Kabebe)
