Today we have quite a few nice Oranges running around. We don't breed the dwarfs on a large scale, only keeping 24 cages for the whole program and included in some of those cages are some of my Seal Points and Siamese Sable and I've started a Steel ND project as well. But what we do have are quite nice and a huge improvement on what we had years ago and some of the nicest examples of the colour in the UK. For 2011 we are going to try a little harder and concentrate more on the Butterfly or Broken Oranges. They are such a stricking Dwarf and there are not many in the UK in Butterfly/Broken at all. Hopefully we might get some other non extension series ones out too like Sooty Fawn, Beige etc.
The first litter of Steel Netherlands is due shortly and again it will be an F1 litter between a Miniature Lop and a ND. Heres hoping for something in that litter to work with. Watch this space later in the year.

SANDY
This is an old buck now and he is behind a lot of our Dwarfs. Although his colour is good, he has too much ticking, but he is very useful to us still.

JASPER
A young buck which we have high hopes for. He is super colour and is shaping up really well for type. He is a chocolate orange so hence no ticking what so ever.

RUBY
The best typed Orange we have bred so far. She is very high rufus and because of this looks like she has ticking, but she doesnt. She is also carrying the chocolate gene.
