Things to look for in a normal breeder

[sirholmes3]

What traits in a normal female should I look for in order to produce the best pastels? I have a male pastel and will soon get a normal female. Thanks

This is my pastel, a couple of different people tell me he might be a super. Is that possible?

What I look for is (and this is just me) a clean girl with as much yellow on her as I can find and awesome blushing. Good luck. You have a very nice pastel.

Good Luck on your Breeding Project. That looks like a Super Pastel to me but I'm not any expert

nice looking pastel. breed him to a few females. he will throw the pastel gene to everything if he's a super.

The best way to find out if it's a super! I would breed it to a normal to find out if its super! It looks like it might be!

Make sure he CONSISTENTLY throws all pastels. You can't definitively determine he's a super with one clutch - many people have beaten the odds with an all pastel clutch from a pastel (and some (like myself) have lost the odds with all normals in a pastel clutch).

I'm picky about all the animals I get including my normals! I'm glad to see you're taking the female into consideration also. Selective breeding is the way to go!!!

Your guy looks great! I'd try to find a really light or yellow colored female with blushing to pair him with. I'd personally avoid dark colored girls. Good luck!
