Hereunder are the lines and varieties I’m currently working with.
The Marten line:
- My most immediate project. I expect to be continuing my mentors’ marten & silvermane line via progenitor bucks from the amazing Mystic Mischief Rattery (retired).
- I have kept the first dwarf buck (STL Bandit) to begin a supplementary dwarf marten line in-house. I will likely keep a second dwarf buck from the next litter that produces dwarfs, as well. These dwarf bucks will be line-bred to related carrier females initially, shifting to a pure dwarf line.
- All other dwarf females produced in these first few litters will be sent to my mentor for her assessment.
- Eventually, dwarfs will be made available to the public on strict pet-only/non-breeding contracts.
The Maryland line:
- My secondary project, I aim to continue this rexoid line graciously provided by Blue Stone Siamese Rattery in Maryland, US. Goals are not fully set just yet as I get to know the line and discover what genetics are at play here and which of them I’d like to focus on and pull out with sole line breeding and examination.
- Preliminary thoughts are top ear focus, in marked varieties. Discovery of which rexoid we have in play is also a priority.
