So I've finally decided to sell out of pet crosses and go purely into Lionheads, New Zealands, Californians, and New Zealand/Lionhead crosses because they have really nice meat potential in a relatively small frame. I decided against Flemish Giants after my big buck, Sandstorm, was killed by my mom's dog late summer of 2018 before I could even find him a mate. It looks like Californians will be my biggest breed for now until I feel like Flems again. Anyways, here I am, starting out 2019, patiently waiting on my only Lionhead buck to figure out what in the heck he's supposed to do with these does. He has so far, had no successful matings or fall offs and this is his fourth doe i've exposed him to! In fact, as I write this, i hear him stomping around his cage with his date. Still no success. Now I've decided to find me a better buck. Go figure now that i'm finally ready to breed these four REW Lionheads, my only REW buck dies of sudden illness and forces me to resort to my backup buck, Orion, Now, Orion is over a year old, and he's a very pretty silver marten (though not a recognized color in the LH world!) He's lovable and kind... that is, to his owner. The does he will get aggravated at and bite when things don't happen soon enough. Luckily, I was planning on a new buck anyways, as the only thing the REW buck I just lost had going for him was that he was, well, REW like my does. I was never really impressed with his conformation or mane, or even his attitude. It's still frustrating that I lost him to something I still don't know what it was and that he died before I could even breed him to anything! If Orion keeps it up, it looks like i'll be breeding these four to one of my LH/NZ cross bucks until I get my next PB Lionhead that does know how to breed! So stay tuned for the next update! (No, Orion will not be going anywhere; he's the house pet and I swear he thinks he's a human!)
