I would suggest emailing both Dave and Jeff. Dave should have high color animals this year - not sure how long his list is and how many he may holdback. I am not sure what Jeff will have, but he has a lot of BRB's and may have some high color babies.

The problem is that the high color animals get better with age, so it is very hard to tell what babies will improve with age vs. ones that get worse. Thus, it is kind a craps shoot on ending up with a high color adult. This also makes someone like Dave holdback more animals until they age a bit - Dave does not want to holdback one that turns into a normal and sell off the star of the litter.

I hope one of the BRB's that I should be getting this week makes it into the high red catagory - fingers crossed. The good news is that I should be getting a total of four more BRB's this week, so if the red is not what I wanting I will have others to cheer me up.
