Pieds are the perfect example here. I have produced high white pieds from low white parents. As a matter fact my first ever pied clutch years ago was from a low white ugly male bred to a het female and i produced 3 pieds in the clutch. 2 were about 50% white and the third was about 80% white so yes you can produce better quality from lowet quality. Now with that said when your talking vibrant colored morphs such as pastels its always better to have as good as you can get with the breeders to try and build upon what your doing. There are subtleties in every morph and you will build upon your quality as you go. Just remember most of us started from scratch and built our collections up. Only a small percentage of people have tens of thousands of dollars to built a collection fast. So keep at it and happt herpin
