She's kinda cute. Nice face split and color for a blue Japanese. Type ain't bad except for being pinched in the HQ. Shoulders and topline are decent. Except.. wait.. what is going on with that right front leg?
Gah! Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Yup, Dutch spotting gene strikes again.
Just thought I'd share one of the many challenges of raising this breed. One of the other kits that didn't survive also had a full half Dutch marking, so it was clear that in addition to being a poor mom and having an eye problem, their dam wasn't meant to continue on as a breeding doe. On the bright side, at least you got to see a cute little doeling, right? :)
White spots are the bane of Japanese Harlequins! She looks like a nice doe otherwise so that's especially disappointing. :(
ReplyDeleteSeriously! It is frustrating and it makes me wonder when I hear about Harlie breeders of like 30 years still getting white feet and spots. Rough stuff.
