New Litters for 2010

MINI LOPS:

This year I have had a few mini lop litters. To date the litters are:

Posey's Kia (Silver Tip Steel) to Posey's Storm Warning (Sable)- Kia had 5 babies. Growing out Tamashanter's Ghost Ryder (REW Buck) and Tamashanter's Carmen Electra (Chinchilla Doe).

Posey's Jazzy (Bkn Chestnut Agouti) X Posey's Ethan (G.T. Steel-False Steel) Jazzy had 9 babies on June 12th, 2010 and has raised all 9 babies her 1st litter. What an Awesome Mom!! 5 does and 4 Bucks. Will hold back 2-3 does to grow out.

Mitchell's Button (Bkn Black) x Kitsemble's Gus (G.T. Steel). Litter born July 27th. Button had 4 babies. 1 Died 2 days later. She has 3 of her own (1 she ate foot off) and has adopted another baby from one of Kim and Cristina's doe.

August 24th: Posey's AnnaBelle had 7 babies on wire (My fault totally, I wrote down wrong date. I think I must have thought I bred on July 27 when Button actually had her babies) Poor girl. She was due August 24th. Will re-breed her next week to Posey's Ethan.

HARLEQUINS:

Wildwood's Betty 7LG2 (Magpie-Black) X Highwood's Sail Away #HWSA (Magpie-Black). Betty had 9 Babies on May 15th, 2010 -1 DOA. She raised 8 Magpies, all Blacks. We held back 4 babies. 2 Does and 2 Bucks. The 2 bucks are quite nice with one in particular being quite nice and show quality. The does are not the best but will sell one and keep one for a breeding doe.

Betty rebred July 4th to Wildwood's Rambo 0A1 (Magpie-Black) Betty had 6 babies on August 4, 2010. 5 Magpie-Blacks and 1 Magpie Lilac. A very nice litter. 2 babies in particular are fabulous but 3 babies died including the 2 best in the litter in mid August due to high heat despite being watered a couple of times of day. Betty has 3 fat babies. 2 does and 1 buck left. One baby is still quite nice. Will get pictures soon.

SASKIA's Litters:

Posey's Zelda SBSPB2(Black) X KT's Jimmy (Bkn Black). She had 5 babies (4 Does and 1 Buck) in March 2010. Litter was not developing well so we did not keep anything from this litter.

Posey's Blue Jayda SB9 (Blue) X S&K Buck (Black) Bred May 14, 2010. Jayda had 6 Black babies on June 15, 2010. She raised all 6 babies. Saskia has held back 1 Black Jr. Buck and 1 Black Jr. Doe.

Posey's Zelda was bred to Lerwyk's Dusty (aka Romeo) LVR2 (Bkn Black Otter). Zelda had 6 babies on July 10, 2010. 1 REW Doe (Tammi keeping), 1 Bkn Black Otter Buck (Saskia keeping), 1 Bkn Blue buck (going to Jessy and Cody for breeding), and 2 Bkn Blacks, and 1 Blue Otter. Bkn Black otter and Bkn Blue are best in the litter. Nice promising babies.

Also, Saskia has just started in Havana's with her friend Lita. She has a Chocolate Havana Due any day. Waiting for papers to know exact date (nest box in already).


On August 22, 2010:
Saskia bred Posey's Alice (Black) to Posey's Emmett (Broken Black).
