Well, that's annoying. Two biggest are culls. Ugh, why?
Need to compare the 2 hold backs to the previous litter.
1st, low weight, but i like the shoulder & rear.
2nd, high weight, but awful shoulder and not great hind.
3rd, same thing.
4th, same as 1st.


4 listed Coral kits.


sky kits


Jet kits
I think there's a V leg issue in this litter.


Such sad numbers.

These are Vapor kits. Looks like he's passing his "fuller to the table" and wider shoulders to them. He has 2 other litters growing up. So, it's good I kept him to keep breeding him around.
Muddy is expecting a litter in about 3wks.



Berry kits, all 9 left with her are fed! These are mutts, sire Vapor. His 3rd litter was Berry's first litter, with Rivian, as well. Those unfortunately faltered badly, but at least they seem to be recovering. Unlike Navy kits, who also had a serious problem, that are still struggling to get out of their rut. I don't believe any with be worth watching and will be culled out once Navy is due her 2nd nest.





Glit is so much nicer this time around! She was a demon about her kits before, but she's letting me pet her and check kits without any aggressive behavior. Though, I'm still spooking and recoiling, lol.
the 2 fosters from Berry are fed and all of her own 7 are fed.

About to start culling out 5-6 big buns for dogs. Then runty ones.

Almost didn't fit, mashed it all down. Still waiting on peatmoss, but got grit to be on hand to mix for the garden totes.
