"New" Acquisitions & Holdbacks

waspinator421 Oct 28, 2012 09:49 PM

I've been very bad about taking pictures of my collection animals. Some are adults now, and all I had was their baby pictures. Others I had purchased, but never took pictures of!

Took a little time last week to get new pics taken of some, though I still have much to catch up on. A few of them are BRBs I purchased in the last year or so, some I've had a while just needed new pics of, and others are holdbacks.

Khaki - 2009 male holdback. Kept him for his dark color. In the breeding roster this year.

Zircon - 2010 female Wipeout holdback.

Mahogany - 2010 male het Hypo holdback. Was one of the average babies of the litter, as the best ones have sold. Him and his sister were the last ones left to be sold, and it had been over a year already. They colored up nicely despite being average in the litter, and I decided to just keep them.

Umber - 2010 female het Hypo holdback. Sister to the male above. I wish I could see the best babies from this litter now, as they were noticeably brighter than these two as youngsters.

Salmon - 2010 male het Hypo, Pearl line holdback.

Ruby - 2010 female het Hypo, Pearl line holdback.

Green - 2010 female het Hypo, Pearl line holdback.

Mint - 2011 male acquisition. Interesting pattern, with a vanishing "stripe" that goes nearly to the tip of his tail.

Ember - 2011 female acquisition. Stripe.

Saffron - 2011 male holdback. Pearl with lots of connecting saddles. The mother has a lot of the connecting saddles as well, so am really looking forward to breeding him back to her in a couple years.

Magenta - 2011 female Red holdback.

Fuschia - 2011 female Red holdback.

Sepia - 2011 female het Hypo, Pearl line holdback.

Dun - 2011 male het Hypo holdback.

Plum - 2011 female Bullseye holdback.

Honey - 2011 female acquisition. Interesting pattern with extreme blushing and intense color!

Cerise - 2010 female acquisition. This girl was substantially lighter than all of her siblings. She has retained an interesting light orangy-yellow color as she grows. Sibling to Ecru, and half-sibling to Paisley.

Ecru - 2010 male aberrant acquisition.

Jasmine - 2010 female acquisition. Deep red.

Chartreuse - 2009 female holdback. Nicest baby from her litter, and will be bred back to her aberrant father in late 2013 to try to prove whether or not the trait is recessive.

Fawn - 2008 female acquisition. Daughter of Ol' Yeller. Attempted to breed her to her brother, Pewter, this past season. Unfortunately he passed away unexpectedly.

Ochre - 2010 male acquisition. Double-Dot & Eclipse in one package. Has already bred my Red Double-Dot female. Hopefully will have neat babies from them!

Purple - 2008 male acquisition. Son of Fluffy, the Calico. Had his first set of kids this year.

Purple had a visitor during his photo shoot.

Well, there you have it. Hope you enjoyed the pics!

WOW! All so amazing Aubrey!

I really love Ember, Mint, and Honey though! They top the list for me! If you don't mind me asking, who'd you get them from? Please put me on a list for one of their offspring!

Thanks Chris! I really like those three as well. Honey especially catches my eye every time I open her tub... so intense! She came from Jeff Clark. The other two came from another guy in FL. I also have another stripe male that is related to Ember and Mint, just didn't get pics of him.

Thank you Dave! I've been trying really hard to not buy an more BRBs unless they are really unique. Holdbacks though... a little harder to let go!

They are all gorgeous but yes, that trio is amazing!
I too have some I believe related siblings to those three. I got my male directly from Jeff Clark and the female just arrived today from Nic Garafalo who produced them.

I attached a lovely picture of my male and the female just arrived, going into shed, dark and a bit stressed so I'll have to update photos later. I love these kids and agree that rainbows are addicting...especially unique ones!

I can't wait to see what my pair produces and I definitely look forward to see what your three kiddos produce as well!

Kindest regards,

Amanda Rose
