2 more Cresties

I wouldnt say that just because he is not online that he is not one of the top breeders..I havnt researched it much but many people I have talked to know him well...At any given time I have walked into his shop held more than 30 crested..and it doesnt stop there...wide range of all Rac's...So i guess in my mind maybe he has a great reputation and doesnt need to go online to sell. Just a thought...and i would say with enough work and enough animals...you could go through the females that produce more females and come up with some kind of way to produce more....way out of my league...just what I heard hehe....you know how the game telephone works...=:}

I wasnt saying that he's not a top breeder.  Just that there are some bigger guys doing it and I havent heard anything about them finding any way to get more females.  He may get 60% but it's hard for me to believe, I get arould the 30-35% range in females from what I have held back and bought.

Thats about what I was hoping was 30%...60 does seem high..maybe the person was lucky hehehe...but..do people look at color more than amount of females there females are producing? Just a thought...you have some beauties by the way

Thanks.

I think the better breeders go for better color/patterns over quantity of females.  When I first started I had some ugly females .  I had a brownish olive, buckskin and the only nice one was the partial pinstripe that i still have now.

I would take a smaller group of high end cresteds over a bunch of average ones anyday.

It's not impossible for him to get 60% but that's not normal.  Like you said he was probably lucky and just picked the right ones.  Unless it was a "fish story"

I love fish stories hahaha...So in about 6 months ill be able to tell more. I have bought 5 of his so far and plan on getting 2 more in a week..and I think he has talked me into a Beautiful Leachie =:}
