Default Winter white or Hybrid?

I got some ww from a pet shop and since buying another from a breeder I was wondering why they look so different. I am certain the boy from a breeder is pure bred. I am now wondering if the pet shop ww are perhaps Hybrids. They are all sweet natured and friendly. I have looked on the site about differences. Is there any experts on HC who know any specific things about ww/Hybrids. The breeders ww is normal colour and pet shop ww? are sapphire?

Do you have any pictures? You can usually tell by the head shape, colour, body shape and patterning if they are hybrids. It depends how far back the hybrid breeding occured how pronounced the differences are. The breeder should have provided you with a full pedigree for your WW showing its descendants.
