Hawthorn Souvenir x TJ Nate
Souvi was the founder of my dumbos and I couldn't have asked for a better mum or doe in general to breed from. She gave birth to 11 with 10 surviving and from the word go was a brilliant but laid-back mum who never showed a hint of aggression and would regularly lay in the open to feed her babies. It was Nate's second go at fatherhood and he did well, most of the babies inherited their parents' fab temperaments and Souvi is probably the main contributor to the lickiness and soppiness of grandchildren like Popeyes and Fubar. Her fab eyes have also been passed down, her litter was a great success in my eyes.
DOB: 9th Oct 07
- 11 kittens born, 10 survived
- 2 black does - Itchycoo & Monica
- 1 black buck - Kofi
- 2 silver fawn does - Gabriella & Peaches
- 3 agouti does - Ferry, Sway & Whizz
- 2 agouti bucks - Gnarly & Carpet
Ferry, Sway, Itchycoo and Carpet stayed here while Monica and Gaby went up to Lizzi at Ratoon, Kofi and Gnarly went to Chelsea in St. Ives and Peaches and Whizz stayed locally with Ivan and family.
Itchycoo was originally my chosen breeding doe but managed to barber her front arms up until breeding age so Sway was chosen instead. Apart from this barbering spell and Monica's defective genitals (which is thought not to be hereditary) Kofi sometimes has a slight sneeze which he has had since kittenhood and the rest are very healthy.
