This winter has been nuts for us as far as what we have produced for colors!

Our Jersey Woolies have produced lilac otters and chocolate otters for the first time, and not in one litter.... but in 3 separate litters of unrelated parents.

Chocolate otter is not a recognized color for JW. Chocolate marten is. And of course self chocolate and broken chocolate. Lilac marten is recognized, as well a self lilac and broken. But not for otter.

I normally wouldn’t even sweat culling a non recognized color, but never have I had a gorgeous couple babies that were a non recognized color like this.

Are the odds very high that they will just produce more non recognized colors should I keep them and breed for type??
 
i've always been told, breed for type first and colour second. so if they are typey keep them. Sell off/Cull anything that doesn't meet your type standards, and show the ones that meet both.
