I'm just getting into the VPI's. Of course, there is someone claiming for each line that "this is agreed to be the best" line. I'm not sure. I just have a few hets right now.

I think I can personally ask this question being neutral since I am working with three lines [VPI/SK/Jolliff]. Why do you say VPI is the best line?

Rick, I can't say that they are the best. I just got my first poss. hets from you a few weeks ago. What I meant is that I have seen various sites on each of the lines where someone claims that "VPI is the best", or "SK is the best", etc... I have no idea which is "best" as I have seen great looking animals from all three lines. Not that I have any of them yet...

Ok
Are they breeding for you yet? Two big boys!
If I did not have the dh snow I would not have sold them.
BTW the dh is half the size of your boys!
Keep us posted.

I haven't observed anything yet, but I have a good feeling. =) I'm still checking. I am getting a 100% female from Ralph Davis in a month or so, and if she's big enough I'll try to prove them out.

Cool...
Hope you have some normal too.

I have a double het for snow male VPI axanthic.
I have 4 50% possible het snow Jolliff line. Hope to produce some soon.
