I was hoping you guys could help point out some flaws in my Mini Rex. I know they are all "pet" quality but I really want to start improving the next generation.
I'm actually looking for a new red buck of show quality to bring in. Trying to decide who I should retain a few females from and who I should part with all together.
I'm wanting to focus on mainly Tri's.. The Tri's pictured are the ONLY ones I have to work with. They just are not easy to find here.
So if you can please be honest and tell me where I need to improve I'd greatly appreciate it. What other picture angles should I get to help with critiquing? Above?
Hoping to get some input to help me decide my next step in my breeding goal.
Dottie: I really like her fur quality compared to my other Tri's but I think her shoulders are too long? She is my best Tri.
Wiggles: This is my original buck. I really like his fur quality. I've kept many of his offspring. I like him the best of everyone here but he doesn't carry the Tri Gene. The girl listed above is his grand daughter. Thinking about breeding them together to see how the babies turn out... Opinions?
Cadbury: Daughter to blue buck above. Doesn't carry the Tri Gene but I really like her fur quality. I have her bred to Sprinkle to hopefully retain a few babies.
Sprinkle: Don't really like this buck.. His color has washed out.. Don't like his fur. He's very lanky and "thin"... but he brought the Tri Gene in. He is a littermate sibling to the next 2 I'm posting
Smores: Don't like the fur quality on this guy at all. But he has made some nice babies when paired with my better females. Again, lanky and "thin" like his brother above. Ears are way too long.
Spice: Sister to the boys listed above. I haven't kept any of her babies back. I like that she is on the small side compared to everyone else in my herd. Doesn't show here but her ears drop apart and hang to the side. Can't decide if I should sell her or try to use her in my Tri Program.
