Yep that male is two or coming up on two years old and he's holding his color just fine.
Hard to tell they do go through and Ugly duckling stage where they really don't look their best.. Remember that if the sire is a Lemon then the breeder is going to call it's of spring Lemons. Even if they don't really hold to the "LEMON" look.I was ordering a lemon pastel from a seller and it will be send today ...
is this picture a lemon pastel ? because the color are not as lime as yours
I've even seen people advertising pastel's at shows that say lemon on the box. You get to talking to them and they don't any more lave NERD Lemons in their collection than the man in the moon. They were just pretty so they called them Lemons..
It's just a name to describe a look nothing more..
