Another friend of mine called me (I have unplugged the phone now- the last three days have been ridiculous) but anyway she told me she just had a litter of sandies from her white doe and not to tell anyone cause she plans to "knock them dead at the nationals"
Everyone in California is getting ready for 2009 ARBA which is why so many questions are coming up.
I have never crossed a sandy with anything but sandy. Not even a fawn. Oh that is not true. Once several years ago I crossed a fawn and sandy and it did have a great benefit. But I try not to cross steels or agoutis with solids.
But I know lots of people do. And I know lots of people really hate that practice.
Other than excellent agouti rings, why would a person cross a white to get sandy babies? Are they bigger or better colored or what?
Right after I talked to her another person told me they were crossing their sandy buck with a black doe which actually seems like an awful idea to me as far as the black line goes. How would you control the scattered white hairs in the blacks if it is crossed with a sandy?
And wouldn't that muddy up terribly the sandy color?
