My 2 nethies had their first litter together last week.
2 were born dead and I’m assuming together as they were entwined and stuck together.
The second 2 both Max’s.
I had a litter off of this doe last year against a false dwarf and the whole litter of 4 lived.
Buck has had two other matings with another dwarf doe, first litter born still born and long, second litter one beautiful surviving kit and again one stretched.
Shall I discontinue using this buck? or keep going? Also regarding the max litter would you re breed that pairing or find another buck?
Thank you.
 
Sounds about on par with netherland dwarfs. The stretching isn't so much a genetic thing from the sire as it is difficultly giving birth. Max factors are a recessive trait. If you bred them again each kit would have a 1/4 chance of being max factor. If you're okay with that you could breed the pair again. If not, you might not want to breed that pair again, though you might keep the buck to use with another doe.
