    Traits to look for in a Dinker Ball

    I know some of the traits that morphs exhibit that are subtle like head stamps/fading, side blushing, patterns, ect.. I just didnt know if there are specific traits that people look for in dinkers that have more potential than others. I am looking at buying a prospect from MLR when he gets his new shipment in.

    No one knows if any of them will work out that's why they are called dinkers lol. Pretty much pick the one that looks different and hope it's genetic. I've looked over MLR's prospects before and they do get some very cool ones indeed. I believe even a handful have proved genetic for them.

    I'd day the best clue is a clean/clear, unmarked belly all the way down.

    Without people taking chances on odd normals we wouldn't have things like super stripes, ivories, super phantoms just to name a few.

    Look for anything that you find odd or like the look of

    Alright. I have to ask the stupid question here. And sorry for hijacking this thread if it is seen as such, but can you tell me who "MLR" is and where to see stuff available from this person(s) collection. Thanks in advance, and I sincerely apologize for butting in and asking the noob question of the day. Everyone have a great evening. Thanks!
