SO, I've been dabbling in ebony for about a year and a half now. I haven't got to show any because my first litter (of two) the one I wanted to show and keep got seriously mutilated by her brother. I hope to show my first ebony this year. My ebony WHITES I did show last year and took res.sec.champ. I intend to show one of those as well this season. That all said I'm looking for some input from other EBONY BREEDERS. The reason I'm asking is because I have a small ebony line (yes, ONE single line) and I'm trying to find out how to arrange it so that kits will be marketable to breeders. SO:
How do you choose ebony animals to bring into your lines?
Do you choose based solely by breeder, solely by the animals show placing, or simply by the animal right in front of you?
How much weight does the mutations in the lines have on your decision to purchase? For example, do you prefer ebony x standard every generation (or every other)? Will seeing lots of mutations in the line be a turn off? Do you give credit to the quality of said mutations within the lines? Is there a specific mutation that will automatically make you run the other way (for example, beige in an ebony line)?
I have very limited ebony, but I try to make it quality. I don't find that ebony has huge demand on the pet market in my area. Especially high quality ebony. So I'm hoping to create nice animals that other breeders would find interest in. Thanks for the input!
