The Marten line:
- My most immediate project. I expect to be continuing to perfect my mentors’ marten & silvermane line from my amazing mentor, formerly Mystic Mischief Rattery, (currently retired).
- I intend to keep a dwarf buck or two to begin a dwarf marten line in-house. All other dwarfs in these first few litters will be sent to my mentor for her assessment.
The Berkshire (house) line:
- This includes the varieties: berkshire, veriberk, variegated & self. This includes both standard and satin coat types. I hope to steer this line towards said colourations: mink, beige, beige-blue and dove.
- Any russian blues or blacks achieved will first be offered to my partner, WTCH, and if she declines they will then be offered to the public. Silvermane is also being introduced into this line with the addition of WTCH bucks, Merry & Pippin.
The Siamese line:
- I do not have the space, or the time, to work on this line in-house at the moment so it is currently being outsourced to my trusted friends: my beloved rattery partner, Bewitched Rattery in Brantford; and my associate Precious Pups Hobby Rattery in Chatham. They are both working with my line to continue it for me and I expect to receive kits back after their choose their keepers for their own respective programs later this year.
- Given I have the time and the space, I will resume breeding of my highly anticipated siamese line, with lofty goals for my next generations, as follows:
- My long-term goals with my siamese are to achieve black eyes (with the addition of BES from Blue Stone Siamese Rattery, located in Maryland, US), as well as personally working towards deepening the colouration of ears, feet, and points, (to achieve as dark seal-points as possible) with specifically chosen holdbacks. I’d like to ultimately achieve a deep, mocha base colouration and further continue the rich ombre I have seen in some of my kits so far.
