(Browned out pastels vs. pastels like the one pictured below or Robin's "Winston"....Side note, I have no idea what Robin paid for him)
From there, you can select your breeding pairs. If you like blushed pastels, you would obviously want to start with a pastel with some blushing and then breed it to a normal(or other type) to get the blushed pastels. Also with a pastel, I would advise breeding to a lighter animal to avoid the whole browning out of babies, but looks aren't the only thing that would go into it. How well do each of the animals eat? Are the animals good breeders that have gotten to be a good size? What is their handling disposition?
HTHI paid a nice chunk of change for him in 2007. I've also been offered a nice chunk of change for him a few times over the last few years, significantly more than what I paid for him. My boy's not going anywhere!
Your pastel is SMOKING hot!!!!! I love seeing really hot pastels!
