i thoroughly believe in mixing for reproducing. indeed, in selecting a mate i would never have chosen one from my group (for several reasons, but mainly because i wanted to get my sperm into another geographic pool; too scary to breed close to home). I went very far afield and produced a very mixed breed. I would say they are very attractive, healthy and seem generally better all around than most humans. I do remember consciously thinking about the gene pool before taking the plunge. they have a nice skin color too. i would encourage them to mate with a different blend as well…really mix it up…
