It's probably as good as any. They won't be pure, but if you pick your best females from what you get and breed them back to the pure males you should be getting close.

I'm hardly a breeding expert though. Just chiming in.

Well, the original females are also on the market but not everywhere offered. But in your case, the best thing to do is to use blonde females which don't have any coloration in the fins. And they should carry the genes of their own strain recessively. And be sure to use virgins. For buying from the store will probably result in females that have already mated before. Such females won't be of any use.

The type of females, I've described will already result in a number of blond males (snow white male guppies are blond based) that will show white once they start to color up in the F1 (1st generation). But selection will be in order to get the line breed true.

Using other kinds of females will be of no use. Maybe a private breeder may have some young virgin blond females with translucent fins.

Translucent fins will have the best result.

These are the original females of the snow white guppies. Basically, the snow white guppies are actually platinum white guppies with a blond base color.

If you'll use the method I've been mentioning, at some point you'll notice that also females with white fins will occur just like the original females. This is also the fastest way to get to a true breeding white guppy line.

And be sure that those females are clean (no sperm storage of one or more former matings). Because females tend to open up one or more folds of the fallopian tube randomly to release stored sperm packets, if such a female has mated before with another male, the outcome of the batch could be fathered by multiple males instead of just one.
For years, many have thought that recent donated sperm would dominate over older donated sperm which would be likely that the outcome of a batch of fry would be fathered by just one male (the latest mating partner). But that story didn't hold up. And it turned out to be that sperm of various donations will be used randomly.
