UPDATED- My RATS!!! (Super Picture Heavy)

[bsash]

As most of you know, I have been breeding rats for quite some time. I just wanted to update on my breeding stock, as I have phased a lot of my older ones out and kept some of the offspring. I do not know specifics on what every color is, so I will label them as I usually call them, if I am wrong on some, you may feel free to correct me.

This is a newly added male I adopted about two weeks ago off Craigslist by original owner/breeder, registered by NARR, almost two years old, but I wanted to try and get a few litters out of him before I retire him and he passes:

American Blue Fawn Variegated- Dumbo Eared- Rex Furred- Black Eyed:


Another recently added male, purchased from a registered NARR breeder in North New Jersey, about six months ago:

Black/White Nose Wedge Berkshire- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:


Female rats that I kept from some of my older previous litters, none are bred from, or are registered as far as I know:

White/Black Capped Husky- Top Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:


White/Black Capped Blaze- Top Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:



Black/White Nose Wedge Variegated- Top Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:


American Blue White Nose Wedge Berkshire- Top Eared- Standard Furred- Ruby Eyed:


American Blue Berkshire- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed


Newer female rat hold backs from a litter I had 14 weeks ago from the White/Black Capped Blaze- Top Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed female to my now retired phased out Black/White Forhead Spot Berkshire- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed male:

American Blue Capped- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:


Black/White Husky Berkshire- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:



White/Black Piebald Husky- Dumbo Eared- Standard Furred- Black Eyed:


Just for fun a cute picture of most of the girls fighting over the water bottle. They do this every time I fill it up, no matter what:


And out of curiosity, does anyone else have any NARR registered rats? I'm trying to look in to getting the rest of my rats papered/registered if possible, and my future litters since I already have two papered/registered males. Looking for any information on how it works, etc. if anyone knows anything about it. I have been expanding my breedings, keeping more records, and no longer breeding feeders, only pets. I have been doing very well and have been able to buy all of my feeders with the profit off them and a little extra. Therefore, I guess I am asking a little advice on whether you would say it would also be worth it to get all of my breeders and all future litters papered/registered? I assume to some degree it may add to what people call "Quality Pets" as it does with cats/dogs/rabbits and such, so may also do a little more for promoting buissness. I have been selling to local Mom & Pop pet shops aswell as private sales, and have been offering guarantees on their health and such as a pet store would, and have had zero complaints in the last two years with my previous and current pet/breeding stock. So what are your experienced opinions, if any?

Yes, he is very pretty, he is a very nice American Blue, with really light cream color on the tips of his fur. The picture makes him look a bit darker and more brown than he actually is.
