The planning and dreaming of future possibilities is 9/10's of the fun. Both sound like really great projects.

Working with co-doms brings more instant results ("instant" being a very relative term here! LOL) ....while working with a recessive project will take another whole generation to fulfill, if all goes as planned. I'm a lover of all things pied...so if I HAD to pick JUST between those two scenarios with no other options to play with...then I'd probably pick the pied project.

If you're dreaming though...why not add one more female to your project...maybe a female pied....then you can take male offspring from the super pastel litters to breed back to the female pied to kick off your pastel pied project.

Most of all...enjoy dreaming!!
