"breeding back" ok?
Is it generally OK to breed a BP back to its parent for morph-production purposes? I am just wondering, since my plans include keeping an eventual pastel female and breeding her back to the sire for super-pas plans..

They should be ok. I have heard that they can get defective if you keep doing it over and over and over and over again.

yes. a lot of breeders do it, espescially to keep a certain pattern or color trait.

Ive read,it is ok for 2 or three generations,but after that that the ill efects come in and weaker animals are produced.seems to be more of a problem with resesive genetics than with codoms.
