Here's a little
advise to breeding torts, that I use in my herd
- once again it is my OPINION.
I believe in keeping tort to
tort, and crossed out to black for coat/type, and/or red for color once in a
while. Find a good base line, with a strong color, so you can work
more with type without worrying much about coat density or color. To
many tort to tort breedings can cause loss of points. Tort's usually
have few color problems if you use a nice strong line. Breeding reds
in can cause lack of darkened points on them as well, not to mention smutty
reds - most reds should be culled from this breeding. This is why
breeding blacks in can help darken points. CULL CULL CULL for white
hairs in your color spots!! Torts can be difficult for coloring.
My suggestion is to keep them to black and tort, reds maybe. Of course, red to tort breedings will cause smut reds, cull them and keep the torts with the best
color. Once color is in check, keep them to tort and a few blacks for
coat. Torts can be a challenge. 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 tortoise's surface color of the
body is to be bright rusty red-orange which blends to a smoky gray-black on
the falnks, head, belly, and feet. The surface color is to extend well
down the hair shaft to an off white under color. The shading on the
head is to be the darkest at the whisker bed and is to blena lighter shading
along the jaw line. ear color should match shading color. upper
side of the tail is to match the body surface color with the underside of
the tail matching the shadings as nearly as possible. Toenails are to
be dark. Eyes - Brown.
Faults - Smutty tinge
obscuring the rich orange saddle color' point color or shading color too
light; scattered white hairs.
Disqualifications from
Competition - White belly or tail white toenails(s) white spot.

She is a product of my own stock.
Her first time on the table she
took 2/6, at a VERY young age. The judge said once her coat is in, watch out
for her, she was "perfect", was his exact words. Too bad she
grew to be too large, she will stay as a brood doe.
She carries such
