I recently purchased a Violet male. He is just lovely. He is out of Mike at OCC and comes from show lines. He is just a lovely boy. I am going to be making a trip out the Bowens in the next month or so and finding him a mate, more than likely a nice big standard girl or perhaps a violet carrier. He has good size and is very blue.
The only weakness he does have is tightness in the fur, its still good, but not as tight as I would want, so we are going to try for V/C's in this first pairing.
He hasnt been handled a lot, so he's a big of a scaredy chin, and he slips fur quite a bit, so I am trying to get him used to me. He is doing much better and will now come to the from on the run for treats or a quick scratch.
His former mate actually just gave birth yesterday to 2 kits a violet male 64g and a mosaic female 62g. They are fabulous. I can't wait to see the kits I'll get from him. LOL Since he is going to be the first of my herd, I'm sure I'll want his kits to stay forever. I'm hoping to gain a little more size and a bit tighter fur with my first generation. I'm really excited about this guy.
Here's a picture. Sorry for the bad lighting(Yucky bathroom lighting
), I took these quickly with my camera phone. I need to get some good natural light shots of him, and full body pictures. He is truly a lovely boy.
