I didn't either, so I asked on facebook. Yaaaay for self chins, lol.

Heard that a lot of people cull at birth or at 8~10 weeks for them tho.

I like them! I think I like alice the most, but it's hard to see true shoulders when they've pulled their feet up before you had a chance to take the pic! Keep in mind the the front legs should be on the ground, and the toes should be right under the eyes. ;D

Thanks everyone!
You get solid colored sports comming from the Satins that were used to develop the breed and that are stil used every now any then by some breeders to increse size and get better fur.
Alice is goig to her first show in the morning and would you believe that she is 5 years old this year! And she is still producing kits for me. She only has 5, or 6 kits now, but she always keeps weight and fur while nursing them. My herd is made up of genetics from her, a blue buck from Tex and a black show doe from a breeder down here. All of my Silver Martens go back genetically to those 3.

Oh, Ok. I have a show tomorrow too, in Waxahachie, TX. I was thinking you might be coming over this way.

Best of luck to you and especially Alice! She is very beautiful.
