I just bought this little guy - AMAZING! I can't wait to get him into the program, and have some nice black otters to show in the spring of 2011! He is the father of FFR's Hutch - who took 5/52 at ARBA convention 2011 in fur. And he throws that coat on all his kits, no matter the doe - AMAZING little guy!
A bit about his ancestors : His father goes back to alot of nice EZDae's animals such as Tidal Wave, Otta Listen, Lucky Seven, Otter lady, and Three Strikes Your Out. And Queen's entire pedigree is Doug King blacks and black otters.

Here's a little advise to breeding Otters, that I use in my herd - once again it is my OPINION. I am brand new to the otter variety. I will comment once I get a feel for the color more. Otters are shown in Black, Blue, Chocolate, and Lilac. It is best to keep Otter to Otter, or Otter to Castor. Crossing out to the self of the otter's color sometimes results in no under color on the belly of the otters. If you insist on breeding that way, just CULL heavily for lack of under color. According to the Standards of Perfection Surface & Undercolor - The surface and under color of the head, outside of the ears, front of the forefeet, outside of the hind feet, and the top and sides of the body are to be as described in the respective self varieties. Markings - Black and Chocolate animals will have orange to creamy orange markings color, while Blue, and Lilac animals will have fawn marking color. The belly nostrils, eye circles, jowls, underside of the tail, inside of the ears, back of the forefeet, and the inside of the hind feet and legs are to be creamy to creamy orange, highlighted by an orange or fawn markings as it meet the self color of the body. The border color between the belly and flanks shall continue down the hind feet as it meets the color of the body. The under color of the belly is to be described in the respective self varieties. the triangle and collar are to be orange to creamy. No ticking is preferred. eyes - As described in the respective self varieties. Faults - Brown or rust tinge to body color; orange to creamy orange hairs in areas other than the patterned areas; mealiness on the ears, head, or muzzle; faded or indistinct markings; scattered white hairs over the body.

" Hutch " ®
Senior Broken Black Otter Buck
Sire: GC Berlena's Dapper ® - Black Otter (4 Legs)
Dam: FFR's Libby ® - Broken Black
This is an AMAZING guy! I love his type, he's a larger buck but his type is perfect. And his coat just came in, thanks to Dapper's it's amazing! He recently took 5th in coat at ARBA convention in 2011. He can no longer be shown, it appears he has broken one of his hind legs - he will stay as a brood buck!
A bit about his ancestors : He is out of Dapper, and Libby. Libby is GC FFR's Allison's (11 legs) full sister. Libby always took 3/14, and 2/12 places, since she could never beat her sister Allison on the tables. Libby goes back to Zulu and eventually FFR's Riley.
Show Winnings:
