I have been thinking about adding a female pinstripe to my collection, but came across this post tonight...

I find that a dom female is.... limited for her potential but her babies can be used in crosses with many other morphs.
I prefer codom females for the purposes of line breeding.
For instance: A pastel female when bred to (example) yellowbelly can make a Pastel YB.
The next year, if you are lucky you can breed her son back to her and possibly create Super pastel YBs.
When having a dom female you should definitely have another morph female to breed the pins offspring to in the upcoming seasons.
A better scenario: YB female. Breed a pastel to her and create the pastel YB. Next years you breed that baby to his mother and possibly create a Pastel Ivory!
See where I'm going with this?
But I can't say that having a dom female is a bad idea.
So good luck with her.
Your best bet is definitely a codom male such as a bumblebee, pastave, superpastel, cinnabee, pastel YB.... and so on.

I think that will make me think about that more, cause it seems like a pretty good point... what do you all think? Though pinstripes add pretty cool patterns to alot of morphs, would it be more worth it to have the dom male or female? Just curious about others thought on this
