** Blue Herd **
Here's a little advise to breeding blues, that I use in my herd.
I believe in keeping blue to blue, and crossed out to black for coat/type. Find a good base line, with a strong color, so you can work more with type without worrying much about coat density or color. Color can be fixed in 1-2 breedings, type and coat take a few breedings to correct. Blues usually have few color problems if you use a nice strong line, don't breed lilacs in too often. There is no benefit to breeding two dilutes together. DO NOT keep any animal with scattered white hairs, I cull heavily for that by removing the ENTIRE LINE, this usually comes from black lines. You can find a nice line with type/coat that does not have the white hair issue. Blues can be taken to blacks and blues ONLY (and black/blue otters), do not cross blues to torts!! And also do not cross a blue to a black you know carries tort in the line (such as Pongo's line). This will add "blue tort" to your blue line. And most important - - CULL CULL CULL for white hairs in your color spots!! Once again this is all MY OPINION, and it has worked for me in my herd, once I learned the line.
According to the Standards of Perfection
A blue's entire body is to be a rich lustrous dark blue that runs deep toward the skin to a lighter blue under color. Color is to be even over the entire animal. Toenails are to be dark. Eyes - Blue-gray.
Faults - Faded or rusty color; scattered white hairs' frostiness or mealiness light under color' blue guard hairs that do not match the body color.

Senior Blue Doe
( picture coming soon )
Sire: TBA
Dam: TBA
She will be picked up from Columbis City, IN this weekend, all of her info will be listed then. She is a brood doe.
She carries such lines as: TBA
Furry Friends R' Us's
" Ruben "
Junior REW Buck

Sire: GC Berlena's Zulu Warrior ® - REW - (11 legs)
Dam: FFR's Daliah - Black
His placement here will depend on his senior appearance, but so far he's perfect. He is VERY young in this pic. His father was a genetic broken blue, so this little REW will stay for the blue herd. Since Pongo carries tort, I can't use him in my blues. And this REW will help coat on my black/blues.
She carries such lines as: Berlena's, EZ Dae's, DreamCatcher, King's.

I LOVE the compact body on this little gal and her coat is VERY nice. Her ears are the SMALLEST I have ever seen on a Mini Rex. Her nails are VERY dark as well. Her coat is FINALLY in, and it's better than most of my blacks!
She carries such lines as: Irish patch, Cresthill, C-S, and Noble Fur.
