Would I guarantee that they're not going to brown out over 30 years time? Of course not. But at three and a half years old, Winston still gets gasps when people see him in person (at 2000 grams). He is starting to get a little brown on top, but his yellow still is stunning.

If I'm not going to selectively breed with the goal to produce nicer and nicer animals, then I'm not going to breed at all - what's the point? Just to produce animals with certain genes just because?
That's great that you have a gorgeous animal!

No, my point is not that "selective breeding is pointless." I am simply being realistic that all Pastels will eventually brown out some brown out more than others and faster, but the end result is usually the same.

Carry on.
