got my new mini rex!

[kwilds]

My new trio of mini rex arrived today - they are all sooooo sweet!

I'm looking for some critique on them! The chocolate is the buck, the otter and broken blue are does. Also a picture of my ermine doe that I got last fall. As I get started developing mylines is there any advice you can give? Ie - is there an overallweakness in this herd that would suggest a need for some different lines to complement them? Hope that makes sense!!

They all look quite long in the shoulders. The broken blue seems to be undercut in the HQ, but she has quite nice depth.

Would like to see more depth in the other two, as well as shorter shoulders (their shoulders should start right at the base of their ears), so to compliment them, I would get stock that have really nice shoulders, great fur as always, and some more depth in them as well.

Their toplines look nice, and there nicely rounded.

Thanks Emily - I was kind of thinking long shoulder issuestoo!

The broken doe has a couple of full siblings with great depth and has also had some offspring with great depth so I'm hoping fora couple offspringfrom her that will helpimprove depth in the herd.

The buck has teeny little ears too so I'm hoping that will help with the dumbo ears on my ermine doe and the otter!

I wish myother buck (our pet)had better type as he has awesome fur! But he is also very long in the shoulder and wouldn't do anything for these does except for maybe improve fur.
