Cruella × G, second litter.
More rews! A broken, black, castor? Very fresh jumping beans this morning, didn't count them, super windy, will wait a few days.

Coral kits. 6wk 1day.
Not great weights, but kinda liking shapes. Vapor has Rex in him 4 gens back, and steel.
I think G failed, not seeing his narrow shoulders in the rex furred ones. I don't think he has steel in him. Not seeing any sped up growth yet, but it seems that doesn't get passed down in every litter, as Quincy kits aren't huge yet either.

Quincy kits. 7wk 5days.
Are they small? I'll have to check.
Kept 2 previous kits, so don't need to keep any.

Malty kits. 9wk 3days.
Two biggest, one will not pose, the other won't stay put. Smallest, white ears, good side, but wouldn't stay. Ugh, seems like an easy litter to choose from, but no. Lol. Do I want a near 6# at 9wk doe with an unknown shape or do I find a medium of both...

Last two Tealy kits. Don't like the black, so he's out in cull cage. 9wk 5days, almost 10wks and blue is getting close to 5#. Maybe I'll keep him for now.

The last 3 Cruella kits. black is largest, but a blob shape.
Broken doe is nice and 2nd in size.
Rew is smallest, but good shape. Hmm. They're 10wks, so it's decent sizing, shape is hard to do, too. Ugh. I don't think I should keep an ugly, but big buck. Will redo the pair and hope for a big, nice doe. Probably hold onto doe and rew for now....

Gilt kits. Ugh, tiny. Do I bother? Probably not. Gotta breed to someone else and hope for better.

Gilt litter is below the SF chart, which is lower weights than the meat mutt chart. So, culling all and trying with a different buck.

Quincy kits are on the positive track.

Coral's rex kits are on the positive track, regular look decent.

Malty kits are above and beyond! Gold stars all around!

Cruella kits all doing well.

Tealy buck, slightly under, but loads better than previous Rex kits with other sires.

So, overall, I'm happy.

Still deciding if the Tealy buck will stay or not. If any of the Cruella kits will stay or not.

Comparing Tealy buck to Quincy litter, he's growing faster than they did. 4.55# at 10wks. Sometimes he poses better.



Different dams, same sire. What does the Quincy buck & doe look like compared to him?
Seems the Quincy doe is better than the Quincy buck, and Tealy buck is better than the Quincy buck.
Looks like logic dictates that I sell Quincy buck to keep Tealy buck!

That brow/white broken is pretty!

Cruella? Her daughter? Or?

 

[secuono]

Hmm, guess I'll keep the broken castor doe. Looks just like her momma.


Malty kits. Gawd, these *hate* posing. Need to decide. Guess I'll pose more tomorrow and be able to narrow it some...


Quincy kits. Hmm, yeah, other than weight, they're a bit too all over the place still. 8wks in 2 days. All within minimums at the least. Waiting longer for these, too.
