I honestly think I need to voice my two-cents worth.
Recently I have been asked about yellow-blue puddings, pearl puddings, mottled winter whites, and all sorts of interesting questions about new variants of winter whites.
I think that in the strictest sense of the word, there are only 4 colors associated with winter whites.
1) normal
2) sapphire
3) pearl
4) pudding
For those in love with color variants, might I suggest going for campbells, or syrians. Those are the lines with more color and fur-type variety.
FOOTNOTE: there have been breeders who do a pearl pudding variant, which is a result of, well, one pearl and one pudding parent. For those who are interested in those, might I suggest other breeders to buy them from. I don't do it. Thanks.

You do not corrupt bloodlines by breeding 2 different colours together. The babies just come out different colours. They are healthy. very white pearlx Normal WW does not give more Black pearl winter whites. Its more to do with the genes.
And another eg. A father has AB blood, mother has O blood. Children either A or B, not AB or O. You call the children corrupted.
And, shoud u also include Pearl Pudding?
To clarify - and this is what I do - I only breed pearls with pearls. The art is to get them as pure in color strain as possible. That is my interest. This is why my customers come to me.
My customers don't come to me for some pearl pudding strain that is the result of putting a pearl and and pudding together. This will result in colors in between, and inconsistent genetics.
For those, there are other breeders who do it.
I like to keep mine pure and original... that's all.
