4th April 2009: I have babies! After her last litter to Aeon, where I didn't really get what I wanted, I decided that I wanted another litter out of Armitage, my beautiful black tan longcoat. I have been looking for a good longcoat boy to mate her to for MONTHS and just couldn't find one I liked. Finally, I decided that only the best would do - and put her to Loki, who is her father. I'm hoping the father-daughter cross will only strengthen the coat and eyes. I wasn't sure whether she carried his reverse siamese gene, or his albino gene - so it was a 50/50 chance whether she would produce reversies or PEWs when crossed back to him. Checking the litter tonight, there are no pink-eyed bubs, so I am assuming we have some reverse siamese longcoats (and foxes)! YAY! There will also be blacks, and possibly chocolates (and tans). Happy to take EOI now and I will update as they grow :)

11th April 2009: Official head count:

2 x reverse siamese female - STAYING (Yuki), ALIVIA (Sakura)
1 x reverse siamese marked male - STAYING (Hiro)
1 x chocolate marked male - STAYING (Marten)
1 x black tan marked female - SAM (Nibbler)
3 x black tan female - COASTAL, FAIJAI (Tila), CATHIE (Miyako)
2 x black female - STAYING (Mayu), JO

All the marked bubs are mismarked banded-ish. They have a band to varying degrees of wholeness, a thin line up the centre of their backs, and a diamond on the back of the neck. The chocolate boy also has a really tiny blaze snippet up the side of his face. They're actually really cute markings!

20th April 2009: I has pictures!

21st May 2009: You will have to excuse the break in pics, but finally here are a few to keep you going! They are SO lovely. I am in love with this litter. These were taken a little while ago, before the girls started shading up.

And this one was taken more recently, of the reverse boy, just to show is AWESOME colouring. He is still getting darker, and is SO beautiful. He is still living peacefully with his chocolate brother and their older half brother, Maxim.
