Thanks SB for reminding me to take pictures of the litter trays. On top of that I also took pictures of the gang in their respective cages. I find this setup quite effective.

Where Happiness Meets Sadness
I was suppose to invite a dear friend over for an official photo shoot. So before asking her to come over with her new gears, I decided to have my own photo session with the new gals on the block. It started off rather depressing because BlueBerry wasn’t posing at all, it seemed as if she do not have the right body length. The more I look at her, the more disappointed I was because she really looked like Slinky from Toy Story just ran out of the idiot box and transformed into a rabbit. It is just so darn depressing. But I still love her huge head with good curvatures. Her color is stunning too. Out of the entire “photo session”, I was only able to savour just one alright picture of her and here it is:
Then came Noobie’s turn. As I carried her out of her cage, she was such a good girl. She did not struggle at all. I was trying not to let her struggle too much in case she hurt herself. But she did not. I just started snapping some pictures and turned out there are quite a number that I liked. She was very well behaved when I placed her back into her cage. Unlike BlueBerry which put up a fight with me. I was so worried that she will hurt her back since she is SLINKY long…
Anyhow, these are some pictures that made my day:

The Odds Of Perfection
I believe when it comes to genetics or life, nothing is certain. I am beginning to understand and coming to acceptance of the fact that in each litter of a successful breeding, there will always be kits of different qualities. The odds of getting the perfect specimen is always low and that is why breeders have to cull. Some kits have marvelous heads and others great length for bodies. And others are just pet quality. Breeding 2 show quality increase the chances of getting the perfect kit. How about breeding brood/normal does to a true dwarf show quality buck? Would that decrease the chances or it is never certain because we do not know how nature works exactly?
It would be good to acquire the best quality to begin the development and at the same time, that would be half the fun because there is not much effort put into developing something from ground up. What drives me in breeding is to see something good emerging from what is 2nd best. That would truly affirm that my breeding program is heading somewhere good. And it really takes a lot of good judgment to get there. Something I hope good breeders out there can help share their experiences with me.
