Re: Spotted question (nothing serious)

[Cinthia A. Dunn-Izquierdo]

ohhhhweeee Yal! I am thoroughly enjoying the feed back! I have to say, I'v gotten a few chuckles from some of the replies. One of these replies suggested that I not damned folks from other countries do things the way we yanks ;-) do things. That was not my intent at all. Rather, I think that our respective gerbil organizations could work together to gain as much commonality as possible. I know full well that one language does not always translate easily into another, if at all. To illustrate my point take the following example; NGS: White Bellied Cream    AGS: Ivory Cream Why can't we "yanks" use the same term as the NGS? It is more accurately descriptive of this color.   Now, before somebody gets their hackles up, what I am speaking of is in no way a criticism of anyone's current methods and terms. I am speaking as a person who found learning about my critters colors and genetics a long and VERY confusing process. Science was not a good subject for me in school. Please do give your feed back. Lighting a fire is sometimes a good way to incite change! Ta! P.S. Is the NGS term Saffron the same color as the AGS Topaz? What are the genetics for Saffron? Cinthia A.
