Its all on prefrence and interpretation
I agree level of white in a Pied or a Calico is personal preference. It is fine if you do not believe there are any standards to adhere to, we all have out opinions on the matter. I just think when it comes to some morphs, there are fairly universally undesirable traits, and when those animals are used to breed they pass that on to combos.

As for the first one produced being the standard, I do not prescribe to that. Line breeding has been shown to improve morphs over time. That improvement is in the eye of the beholder I guess.

Either way I thin this is good conversation to see where folks stand on the matter.

Your point that all standards are not standards has been clearly made.

I would still like to see some examples of what people believe to be superior examples of a morph, preferably with an explanation as to why.
