Just a Hair's Distance..

We will be going to pick up three pedigreed does and one pedigreed male from RaffinHouse on Thanksgiving Weekend. We are very excited to be making such plans. We'll finally get things going and start working towards our first litters.

Our first litter may be as early as late January. The oldest of the girls, who is of breeding age, may be paired with one of our resident boys, Dobbie. We want to get to know her some first. From that breeding, we hope to begin the foundation of our own line. This will be done under strict supervision with our mentor and if any problems arise with the line, it will be discontinued immediately. Dobbie is nearly two years old, with no problems to date. He came from a breeder, but not one with ethics we would stand by. However, his family line was bred specifically as pets, so good temperament runs in his family. They are most likely going to be black marked dumbo babies, half being rex and the rest being smooth coat. Other colors may pop up, depending on what Dobbie carries.

The first several generations will be pets only and will come with a non-breeding contract. It is also extremely important that adopters keep in contact with me so that the health of the line can be monitored. I could not be certain if the line would be improving if I don't have feedback on the majority (or better yet all!) of the resulting kittens. Keep in mind, it is still not a for-sure breeding. We'll just have to see. Announcements will be made if we are going ahead with those plans.
