    Re: Calico & Sugar?

    I think there is a bigger difference than lesser/butter, mystic/phantom, bp/cinny etc.
    Sugars tend to have a reduced pattern with gold/orange outlines and a higher White that "melts".
    Calico's with the exeption of the odd really nice f&f example are no where near as nice IMO.
    Low White calico's look like normals, lower white sugars have a lot of orange and crazy patterns.
    This is my sugar.

    These are 2 of her siblings.

    I think sugars are worth the higher price tag.

    I agree they are similar to butter/lesser, BP/cinny, etc....but I also agree those animals with the sugar label I like better than the calico label. I have a unique YB Sugar male breeding this year and his track record has produced some very amazing animals. I can't wait to see what he can do.

    To me, calicos and sugar morphs are for the white, not the pattern. Most of the combos I see with calico/sugar its tough to tell. Pastel calicos and caliders are easy to tell. Some combos just bust up the side pattern and then I don't really like it. I have a calico to make caliders and calibees. Here he is and I like him!

    I agree. If a calico/sugar does not have a high white side, I tend to think its a bad calico/sugar. Your calico is pretty amazing, your calico is what I would look for when if I were to buy a calico.
