He looks good. Do you keep the darker separate from the rest or they the same family?

Many families, especially in the past, have more than one color morph. Sometimes the morph involves something like dark brown or wheaten that is easy to see. Other times it is a pattern gene that is noticeable under close scrutiny. Getting them down to all look like minted copies of each other may indicate more inbreeding than is ideal, especially if color is what selection if based on.
