Many of you may have heard/read part of this story before - at least the first part but be sure to read the later parts...

Funny as I think back on it, Savannah is an animal I "rescued" at a show in Petaluma back around 2003 or 2004. Was sold to me by a lady who had a pet store and asked if I'd be interested in a female BRB. I said maybe and she brought in the=is kinda sad looking BRB. Al crusty from dehydration, bad sheds and retained eyecaps. BUT, under all that was a hint of really nice color. Looking back, little did I know!!

In 2005 I bred her to Porky, a nice broken pattern orange male and produced a litter with many very nice babies. So nice in fact I kept 1.2 of them, Phoenix, Amber and Wendy. Then in 2007 Savannah was bred to Nathan, another nice red animal and I kept 1.0 Moon. In 2008 she went with my Calico project and produced babies from Fluffy. For her latest litter in 2009 she was paired back to her offspring Phoenix. In each and every litter there have been stunning babies, many stunning babies. In har latest litter there were amazing babies.

Also, Wendy has produced a litter with amazing looking babies. All of this seeming to come from a single source... Savannah

Savannah...

Amber (SA-PO-0501)...

Wendy (SA-PO-0502)...

Phoenix (SA-PO-0506)...

Moon (SA-NA-0714)... (sorry, old pic, guess I've missed getting newer pics of him)

Belle (SA-FL-0806 - Fluffy offspring)...

Marcie (SA-FL-0811 - Fluffy offspring)... (also an old pic)

Snoopy (SA-FL-0808 - Fluffy offspring)... (well it's clear to me I need to update the Calico project pics)...

Spike (SA-FL-0809 - Fluffy Offspring)...

Elvis (SA-PH-0903)...

Erin (SA-PH-0905)...

Presley (SA-PH-0902)...

Male to be named (WE-RO-0901)...

Female to be named (WE-RO-0911)...

Phew, those are some smoking hot BRB's. I'm seriously considering naming the whole group the "Savannah line" after the Matriarch.

Thoughts???

Elvis and Presley are insane. Simple as that
And that aint line breeding its pure luck, and you won the lottery on those two!!!
Its funny, how you must have quite a few holdbacks higher up on your list now than BamBam, who was once top dog!!
I find WE-RO-0901 kinda mesmerizing aswell, i just cant work out why though

cheers

15.24 brbs
4.8 crbs

You may be right "its pure luck, and you won the lottery on those two" of course I've bought another ticket to that lottery!!!

Poor Bam Bam, he's not at the top of the list any more but still pretty darn far up it!!!

Yeah, I knew there was something about this litter. That male, WE-RO-0901 has a super intense red blush all over.

yeah amazing, i think you should take a handful of your top animals (and yes Bam-Bam too!! even though he has fallen down on the list he is still me fav) and get really nice pictures of them. im talking like pro photography pictures, use them for your website or something.... not that you dont take good pictures dont get me wrong its just that using that countertop for all your pictures kinda makes them all the same...

so im talking about showing off a handfull of your really stand out animals, with awesome pictures!! you could even have some of them as like a downloadable walpapers more stuff for your site!!! couldnt hurt right. i think you should

"Savannah Line" sounds perfect! Her name is becoming legendary! Can't wait to see this year's clutches! I've still got a year before Orion is big enough, so I'm waiting with baited breath, and watching your projects =) (ps.. that 2009 pic with whitewalls makes a great desktop background! TY!)
