Aero is a.............

Thanks you two - we love her and still can't believe how lucky (fated?) we were to find her that day

I'm not sure I'm up to that really after talking about it to Andrew Bryan - I'm sure there are others with more Doves than me that could do it better/quicker and I'm not sure if I'd need to breed a son back to mum or something like that to prove they breed true - something I probably wouldn't want to do

I really can't understand why this colour (as well as Mink) hasn't been standardised already.

Well I will do - but that's actually Josh who's here for a sleepover and who's helped with all the hams tonight :P

Ah, she's lovely Holly. She has such a sweet face.

[nooboo]

she is a beauty and dont worry i wont be offended if you want to use sheryls Kookai! he is a bigger ham than dorodoroke and a better type, poor little doro, but doro has fathered some good litters, like that which included chilton you saw at the show.

in your situation i would try kookai first, he is a little old, me and sheryl where discussing, so should any issues arise you know you are welcome dorodoroke at any time as a back up! if everything goes smoothly then you can always keep a good female from the litter to use with doro, though hopefully by then i will have a few more doves myself! and may be wanting to steal one of that kookai litter if possible too :P

oh and its easier to call him doro if you cant remember dorodoroke, doro means muddy...so no offense if his name is mud to u.

its terrible they are non standard same with mink, and my other fav blue mink...still they are working on t, hopefully they will soon be in main show, as well as the little roborovski! the standards committee may as well try to sort them all out

Ha! I can't believe this Noo but I drafted an email to you this morning asking exactly that (I couldn't remember Doro's name much less how to spell it so I wanted to ask Teresa tonight ).

I was hoping you would say I could pair him up with one of the girls from the Aero/Kookai litter - that would give me wonderful colour and coat combinations as well as, hopefully, the superb temperament of Chilton who I met last week

I'd be delighted if you'd like a little one from the Aero/Kookai litter - I need to ask Sheryl if she's wanting any but you are welcome to one as well. I'll only be able to keep one or two of them myself.

Oooh how exciting, I'd love to see all of the colours in the meain show. I've quite enjoyed showing Toby (our LH Mink) in Non-Standard but it seems odd that such an established and well known colour should be there.

And robos too - wow!

Seeing your name here reminds me that I must sort out my entries for next weekend!
