I am buying this little girl from Rob "The Man" Tudehope. After buying that Yagi female from Matt Pope....I've been hooked. Suri's really are beautiful animals.
Rob's a great guy to deal with! If I were made of money...I would have bought many more of his animals. He is for sure one of the good guys in this hobby. And, his animals are just AMAZING!!
More than likely this girl will just be a pet. I don't really think I'll be breeding her. But, time will tell. LOL!
I hope you enjoy my new obsession. I will always keep and love BCI's and morphs.....But, I will make room for these Suris!! They are so beautiful!!
Pics were taken by Rob.

Yeah its hard to quit once you've gotten ahold of a Suri. I started out with just "1" once, now I can't get enough. I love those bright pink ones though! Yours a very beautiful, they should be even better as they grow!

Here's a close up of one of mine...Say Cheese! Good luck with yours...

You start with one animal. Then another. You realize how beautiful they can be. You like one trait in one animal and a different trait in another. Soon you find yourself losing sleep at night figuring out where your next purchase will come from. What would the offspring look like if you crossed this one to that one? How will you find the space? You dedicate an entire room in your house to this growing collection which soon still isn't big enough. You think what else can I buy to improve on things? Cages become more elaborate, purchases become more expensive. You start rearranging priorities to save for that next animal and swear that this will be the last one! No one understands this bizzare hobby of yours but you don't care. They just can't see what you see. Before long you start cutting back on food, Christmas gifts for others, all to save for that next big score. If you search hard enough, you can find a few Suri collectors living in cardboard boxes deep in the subway tunnels surrounded by their prized collections - wives have left them and high powered jobs have been lost all in search of that one "perfect" Suri. So be careful. Don't let this happen to you. And if you ever happen to stumble across that homeless Suri collector in the subway, just remember that he started just like you.
All kidding aside, best of luck with the new animal!-----RON

Heheheh...

Aren't BCC really neat? Is that from the 03 JV litter? IF so, watch out! There colors are bonkers. . . you will love her!

Rob is a super cool guy! Glad that ended up working out for you.

Take Care,
Kemper

I knew YOU would get a kick out of this!! LOL!

You know your animals well. It is a 03JV female. I can't wait to see her in person.

And, you are right. Rob ROCKS!! I would buy from him anyday of the week!
Later brother!
