and even if I wanted I could take a matrix pastel and breed it to a normal and call the offspring what ever line I want. "Loser Line Pastel" why not? Just what do you think people are going to want? a matrix line that you can trace back to its roots... or this dudes random line we've never herd of?

but If you started to mix and match pastels and produce something more intense like a even higher yellow pastel or something with more intense blushing that we see now, it would be just a mutt of pastel lines selectivly bred. boom new line. and i hope to god you would give it a name so im not just buying "some pastel"
Thats a big negative folks. If you take a Bell Line pastel and a Nerd line pastel, your offspring is BellXNerd blood line....not a new line. Then you take your NERDxBell and throw it in the mix with a Graziani....you now have an animal with the bloodline from 3 different lines, but its still not its own individual line.
You want your own line, you need to bring it in from Africa. This new blood line, fresh set of pastel genes can now be classified as a Loser line.
