Hi!
We recently acquired a lovely FG fawn doe and she is likely pregnant. She has several sections of 'smut' in her coat-- does this come from breeding different colours? Is it a regularly occurring thing? A mismark, yes?
She was bred by a local teenager who apparently put her to two bucks she called FG-- one was white with a smudgy grey face, the other white with broken grey spots all over. Sooo... If babies arrive they should be 'interesting'.
I understand that to be a Flemish Giant means having correct colour? Yes? So these kits should be called FG type maybe?
I do see pics of what people are calling FG in all sorts of colours and patterns aside from the seven varieties... Are they cross breeds or just people breeding for unconventional colour?
I am a dog person 😜 so I know how it goes re. Purebred/standards etc.
So I guess my big question is how critical is colour to being a FG?
Thanks!
