Came home to 3 more litters!

-THYR, bred to AA33C, had 5 holicer babies.

-SAFFRON, bred to 2HB6, had 12 Rufus babies! One was DOA

-b1 (F1 beige), bred to a1 (F1 beige), had 7 F2 beige babies. 1 rew, 2 blue tort, and 4 blue. Since both parents were only tort carriers, keeping anything not tort isn’t a good idea, as it may not carry it. So the only keepers of this litter will be the 2 blue torts. And that’s before knowing if either of them have normal or rex fur, since both parents also carry that.

I guess some sisters just can’t do anything alone lol. Vhagar and Syrax both had 6 babies with beautiful nests for first time mamas.

Vhagar, a blue tort rex/mini rex cross, was bred to a1, a blue that carries tort F1 beige, giving me my first F2 litter.

Syrax, a lilac fox rex/mini rex, was bred to KKD160, a lilac tort mini rex.

Finally back and have everyone settled❤️ First Canadian show for the books lol. Every judge I’ve had many times before, but almost every exhibitor I was meeting for the first time. Hopefully starting some good friendships from across the border😁

It was a triple show plus a commercial specialty, so my NZs and pals were shown 4 times! I pulled of 1 BOB and 1 BOS with my NZs among some more class wins.
