    Blue Silver Fox Can NOT Produce Black Silver Foxes?

    Title says it all. Someone told me that blue silvered Silver Foxes can not produce black silvered Silver Fox when bred to another blue silvered. I believe this to be correct, am I? I hopefully have a litter due this 30th. Both parents are pedigreed blue silvered Silver Foxes. This will be the...

    Charging $100 For a Mutt...Can I Do This?

    I wrote a post back in November of 2016 on being able to charge $35 for a mutt. Now my mutts are currently at $85 total. My question is, since my demand cannot be met and the fact that I have an amazing reputation, can I jack the price up to $100? I am honest that they're mutts.

    Why Does My Buck Stomp His Feet at My Doe After Breeding?

    So I bred my Silver Fox buck to my Giant Chinchilla does (both first time moms, but he has had 7 litters). After he bred them, he stomped his feet at them. Why? He's never done this before? He bred both with fall-offs but why the stomping? I thought stomping was a warning/fear related? :oops:
