Sometimes it's hard to walk away from a animal for sale that is really screaming at you. Even if the seller has no clue to the true genetics of the animal. But the red flags should go up in that case and you should assume there will be other issues that will arise with the animal. Health issues mainly or something else unforeseen. Buy from someone who has the exact info on what they are selling. This way you will be more likely to be satisfied. There are quite a few breeders with exceptional pewters that will back up what they sell and have all the pertinent information on the animal.
