I bred Tootsie and Ninja August 30 and 31, late at night and
early in the morning.
Tootsie as a first time mom lost eight out of nine of her
kits. This is actually a common
occurrence with first-time moms. I anticipate
that she will be a much better mother this time. She wants to be a mother, and knows she will
be having kits soon. You can tell she
wants to be a mother with her gaining almost two pounds in a week and a
half. The kits are due October 1st.

From breeding Tootsie and Indy together, we learned that
Tootsie is double steel. Meaning, unless
with bred with another double steel, the whole litter will be some sort of
steel. Because Tootsie is a double
steel, and we don’t have a double steel buck that she isn’t related to, I bred
her with Ninja to produce steel (black steel).
There will definitely be black and chocolate steel and possibly blue and
lilac steel.
