What is the best example of....

[buddha1200]

i think variety is what makes bp's so attractive.
If u set standards then everyone will be striving for that standard and some where down the line everyones bp's will start looking the same.
I for one look for uniqueness in my bp's i dont want a bp that looks like everyone elses.

For example i personally have never seen a black pastel that i liked,so i have never considered purchasing any,been to quiet a few shows and in my opinion(my opinion)i have never seen a very unique looking black pastel,even the mojarity of photos on this site most black pastels look the same(most seem dark as babies and just regular as they grow.

And another thing what would the standard be set upon,Adult versions or juvi versions,because from what i see most juvies(that catch peoples eye)do not look the same when they get older(some look better and some look worse)and i dont think alot of us cant predict how most juvies will turn out as they grow,we hope they get better but we cant be 100% sure they will.

just my 2 cents

I think there is a misconception here that having a morph standard does not allow for variety in the morph. That is just not true. It would just establish MINIMUM guidelines for a good example of the morph.

In the end this could actually help breeders better cater to what the customer base is looking for. In addition, we already see that exceptional examples command higher prices and if you consistently put out exceptional examples, well you get where that is going.
