Pipsqueak Ebony Charm a gold, golden agouti and white texel. Currently sixteen months old. She's had two litters previously. The first litter was a single stillborn baby, she was postpartumed and ave birth to two babies today, one sow and one boar. Her mother was Pipsqueak Ebony Eyes. From here on she'll be known as Ebony.
Pipsqueak ? is a gold, golden agouti and white merino boar. He's 3-4 weeks old now and has just been removed from his Mum and is currently living with his brother. His parents are Pipsqueak Cosimo a merino and Pipsqueak Cosmopolitan. Cosimo has done okay on the show table taking out best baby longhair, best junior longhair and best junior in show. He has a touch of chewed/pulled coat on his back as does his brother so we'll see he goes, however I will attempt to coat him out. I'm allowed to name him for his pedigree and I'm toying with the name Pipsqueak Edmund.
I do have photos of this lil guy as well! He's the Golden Agouti with less white.
Pipsqueak ? is a baby gold and white sheba who's just a week old. The current crazy standard issues means I'm a tad doubtful that he'll get anyway on the show table, but hey since when has that stopped me? I also get to name this boy for his pedigree.
Pipsqueak ? is a junior gold, black and white sheba who I've met before. He's a darling but has an issue. He was born with a congenital defect, he's missing his left eye. However he has the coloring my mother loves so will become a much loved pet and assuming the rules haven't changed will be placed in the pet class. I get to name him too, which is awesome!
So I'll be collecting my darlings on the 26th of November so I am of course counting down the days. Juts four weeks today till I can collect my babies.
The other issue is I'll need to change my breeding plans as I don't want to leave Ebony till August before breeding her, it gives her too much time to get fat and lazy which is not conducive to healthy mother and babies. So I'd probably put her and 'Edmund' together in March, which would lead to babies by May-June and then assuming all goes well probably one more litter in August/September before retiring Ebony and using her as a companion for 2013's breeding sow.
