Molasses and Amarillo - August 19, 2010 

I wasn't planning on doing father/daughter matings, but I really did think that Peppercorn was the father of Molasses. In this litter there is a black and white satin crested boar, black crested sow, and a chocolate sow that may be a sable. The sable colouring does not show up until they are a few months old, but she has odd purple-red eyes and is lighter than a normal chocolate.


Dolce de Leche and Amarillo - August 18, 2010 

I wasn't planning on doing father/daughter matings, but I really did think that Peppercorn was the father of Dolce de Leche. In this litter there is a Tortiseshell and White tri-roan boar with a white crest and blaze, a beige roan satin crested boar, and a chocolate roan sow.


Malt Vinegar and Amarillo - February 25, 2010 

I thought Amarillo was the boar, until the babies were born black and lilac, which I then thought must have been Pepper. Then the lilac roan had a satin baby, which means she was a satin carrier, and the father had to be Amarillo. Sadly, Malt Vinegar did not survive, and gave birth while no one was home. Thankfully, I was able to borrow a nursing sow and litter to foster them. So far they are doing quite well. Both are girls, one is black with a little bit of white on her back and stomach, looking a lot like her mother. The other is a lilac roan.


Butterscotch and Black Magick's Maxwell Silverhammer - October 2009 

There were six in this litter, but one was dead by the time we got home from work. Left to right: Silver agouti boar, Silver agouti sow, lemon agouti boar, white sow, silver agouti sow. All have small white patches, and the white one only lived a week.


Liquorice and Black Magick's Maxwell Silverhammer - September 2009 

Liquorice did very well for her first litter, all were healthy and a good size. Left to right: Lemon agouti dalmation boar, black sow, chocolate sow and self black boar. The black boar has gone to Tammy, and I'm keeping the chocolate.
