Hey everyone, I just wanted to apologize for the lack of updates. I’ve been dealing with some personal health issues and unintentionally took a sudden hiatus from breeding, but we will be back soon!
Although I do have an exciting update on our experimental line! Suzi (cinnamon berkshire unknown coat type) and Ukogi (agouti unknown coat type) were paired before the hiatus to test to see if we were working on Rex or Velveteen and if I’m not mistaken we are working with both! Here in this first picture we have two of her daughters, they are believed to be Rex. Turns out we are also working with Siamese with this line as well. Second picture is a female Velveteen Siamese, and thirdly we have three Siamese males from left to right: Velveteen, Rex, Standard. Temperament wise they are making great progress and will possibly be ready for pet quality in the next two generations, so long as no health problems arise of course (knock on wood).
Now for Holly’s side of things (Suzi’s sister, cinnamon variegated standard), her litter seems to be a bit better in terms of temperament so they should be ready next generation. She was paired with Ukogi and if I’m not mistaken, the other half of her litter was Velveteen. In which case, Suzi is a Rex while Ukogi is Velveteen! In the fourth picture is her only daughter, Laila, a black dumbo standard. She will be kept back to further the line.
Lastly, we have the four ratties we kept back from Pablo x Chubb’s litter. The fifth picture is of their two daughters from left to right: Belle (standard black berkshire) and Elle (rex black berkshire). And in the sixth and last picture is their two sons, Aidan (mink hooded rex dumbo) and Hayden (american blue hooded rex dumbo).
