I never had a female have an incident with a collar really. Occasionally one would get one stuck in her mouth, but it's important to check them often. I also don't remove animals from colonies and I've never had a lot of issues with breed backs or worn down females in my colonies. Unless...

Also looking for xrays that can be enlarged to about 600... I have some that are too small to see well! Xrays showing bloat (gas in the belly) or pics of swiss cheese poop are great too! Also xrays showing malo. Thanks!

According to APA it's not a problem as long as the sites are used to reference. Now, I personally like to be asked. You are welcome to use photos off my site, I try to cite anything that is not my photo to the owner, so if it's cited, it's not mine.

Every single person in this list deserves a great thank you for helping produce another great national show! It was great that this was the FIRST time we had an all female judging panel! BUT... there is one very important person who deserves much respect and appreciation... Ms. Sumiko De La...

Actually catatact surgery is done in animals, I know someone who had it done in his deceased wife's dog years ago. :)

Exactly. Perhaps Blue Diamond's are a new mutation! But yet everyone has accepted they're a hybrid of both, let's not accept that until we have DNA proof!

Loading the car, we're heading out at 1600 when John gets home!

Chinchillas do not carry an albino gene, although it could be possible, it would be a rarity, not like other animals in which is it breed for. I have a female who developed a white spot, it continued to grow, she is blind in that eye and also has other issues such as severe head tilt. She...

Someone else posted about adding on to a CN/FN from the old style to the new. It is possible, but you have to have the right equipment. I didn't think to get pics but we did this just the other day on an old style FN, I added a 1/2 section of a new style CN to the top for a 3 tier. To do so you...

I personally think that proving them to be the same is better for both because it opens up the gene pool more allowing them to be worked with more easily... I guess I was always told that if it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck... it's probably a duck. They look the same and breed...

We live on an acreage. We have 2 horses and an alpaca on the pasture, my daughter has 4H chickens, about 10 of them. One outside cat, plus the random strays that come by to eat. Inside we have 3 dogs, a golden retriever, a standard poodle (each of my daughter's has custody of one of them) and...

Firstly that jumping on her, is probably breeding her. It literally takes seconds for a male to breed a female. Nextly he can breed her through chicken wire... Females can get pregnant before 5 months. Thirdly you can not see her vagina... unless you're using a speculum you're looking at her...

They are beige because they are beige, not white. White's should have a blue hue to them, not golden. Red eyes are not indicative of beige, there are beige with dark non-red eyes. I've never had a RW with red eyes, mine have all had dark eyes.

Jeff, I know that you are good with numbers and with genetics, so I would like to take a moment to ask you a couple questions regarding this if I may. You say that it is most likely they are the same mutation, and obviously I agree with that. Now with regards to the rest of your information...

Are you sure Jess? You better have him DNA tested... :hmm: Trial and error ... the original testing method preferred by poor scientists everywhere!

Well perhaps violets aren't violets, and sapphires aren't sapphires... maybe we need to do genetic testing on them because it was not done. I can assure you that if you test standards you will find MANY genetic differences, are you going to dispute that they are not all standards? A standard out...

I haven't heard anything about the other party, who it was or otherwise, who's disputed this. I don't understand what's to dispute, a gold bar was crossed with a recessive white and they created mutation offspring that looked just like them. If anyone has tried to cross them and gotten...

I was told that all of the fading whites ended up with Luke Fausett. To Brown Cow, is there any genetic testing on violets to ensure they are all the same kind of violets? If they cross they must be the same mutation to some extent because tehy are recessive mutations. I don't know of any...

RW is is a simple recessive, removing the yellow or golden hue would make them basically white and removing what they are, IMO. I have not heard anything that Mish's breeding experiment was disproved, if it was I'd like to know. She crossed RW's and gold bar's with the help of Paul K, so the...

It's not big deal, I was just wondering, I've heard of this happening with chins who were born with tiny eyes and tiny openings so I was wondering if that was the case with her. What a sad story! Sounds like she's in good hands now!
