I fully understand that. what i heard is that some people believe there can be hets. it was just the first i heard of it and i'm wondering if other people have heard of it. as i think about it, i wonder if it can be possible. it would be nice if someone with a better understanding of genetics could chime in on this. just hear me out, what if you had a baby that inherited the pastel gene but the normal trait over rides the pastel trait. i know typically if it has the pastel gene, then it shows. but it could be possible for the gene to get hidden...
