Excuse the cages but I thought I would post pics of the pairings and gravid females at this point in the season. For whatever reason, I decided to take these before I watered.
First up is my favorite pairing of the season. This is the Ferrari pastel bred to an amazing pastel hypo female. I also recently purchased the Ferrari's sibling, he is hanging out in the background after breeding her for the earlier part of the day.
Next is my Sharp pairing. This male produced my first ever Sharp litter and the female produced a chocolate Sharp last year. I am really hoping for another this year.
Next is a female from my first litter ever, she was bred by her brother. I am really excited by the possibility of F2 CCS line pastels. These are the line that Jeff's patriarch to the Ultra pastels came from.
Next is a female K grade salmon from Rich. She is here on breeding loan and was bred by the same CCS line pastel as the female above.
This is the aforementioned male.
And last, a nice high pink female that was bred by another CCS line pastel male.
I am really looking forward to baby season this year. Good luck to everyone else as well.
