I have a nice black doe bred to a good blue buck. If I'm correct, then the kits will all be born black, but carry the blue gene?
Neither parent is perfect, but they don't have the same faults. His blaze is too narrow at the base (not freaky narrow, but not wide) with a good length, while's hers is nice and wide but a tad too short, tapers out too quickly. His band is really lovely and clean, while hers could use just a smidgen of improvement. I'm loving their ears, his looked so long when he was a youngster but he's really grown into them.
She's due in about a week :biggrin: I'm pretty excited. I have two of her daughters and their just lovely. Bands could be a bit better at the nape of the neck, but otherwise I really like them. They have awesome personalities to boot, definite keepers.
Annnd...completely unrelated. I got this pretty girl along with the Dutch doe and buck. She's a really rich orange color, a tort perhaps? I just keep her around as a company doe, she's nice and calm. She'll be staying inside with my epileptic girl when the weather gets colder.
Colors a bit washed out, but you can see the grayish color. That one with the Dutch like markings is the epileptic. She's spunky little thing
