Dovetuft X Riddic : 9 kits
This pairing produced a litter of hybrids that reached a very comfortable 4.5 - 5 lbs at 8 weeks.
I'd like to see if they can do it again.
Pearl X Frett : 8 kits
For my agouti-fox project
Genotypes are: aa bb C_ dd Es_ and Aa Bb C_ dd E_
c (rew) and e(non-extension) unlikely but not impossible.
Expecting lilacs, blues, lynx, opal, blue GTS and lilac GTS
Should end up similar to this litter:
My next step is to select the foxiest and fastest growing opal and lynx kits to cross with dilute and chocolate carrying chestnuts. I do like the personalities in this batch.
I have to flip them over and look at their bellies to be sure who is steel and who is opal or lynx. I do have a hint...anyone with ticking but no eye circles is a steel for sure.

It's too bad the only lynx kit is a little runt. He's a fluffy thing.
In theory, their adult pelts will have a lot more guard hair and show their colors better. I might just have to keep this guy around long enough to see what the coat will look like..
