Hello boys and girls,
We all know lesser vs butter has been debated to death. However, here's something that I haven't seen posted on this topic yet so I want to hear your thoughts on this.
Since Daddy platties has been made with butters (butter daddies), do you feel that this is enough evidence to prove the theory that lessers = butters? Reason for this is because butter possess the hidden gene for Daddy platinum as well, so I feel that this is enough to justify them to be the same thing. Think of butters as "het daddies", so at some point in the beginning, they would have come from the same parent (daddy) as the lessers.
As to why butters look different from lessers, I think it mostly has to do with selective breeding/line breeding. Just like pastel vs lemon pastel.
What do you think? Still think butters are not lessers? what about your thoughts on the two's effect on morphs (for example, any distinctive difference between lesser pastel vs butter pastel)?
