Hello, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions from experienced hybridizers and fanciers as to their "best choice" for a white TB to use in a breeding program both to work on whites and possibly improve other colors.
Could anyone who advises on a particular TB add a bit of information as to why they'd chose a particular cv over another.
I know to look for form, branching, etc, but those who have seen many more cv's than I have could give me a better idea or listing to chose from for a nice modern TB.
I would prefer one that is more recent as well as a good potential parent, one that is likely to pass on positive features or "improvements", or one that has decent features to possibly improve through future selection.
I've read about the nice historics like Snow Flurry and Swan Ballet, but those are historics that I am sure have been improved to a great extent in the last 40 to 50 years and would likely push back any program...
thanks for any tips or pointers.
