The Garcia Family

Marshall has a very similar sister. If Garcia turns out to be chocolate (I don't know enough about chocolate to be sure, and mom’s clear belly seems to be not the norm for chocolate from what I have read) then they might be the first two. Of course chocolate and mojave have both been around for a little while so maybe it was already done and just not shown.

Randy, Have always loved the pattern and contrast on the Mojave Garcia!!! I think a breeding to hit super would be the way to go -- SUPER REDUCED and melanistic. Good luck on getting a combo boy this season. Nice project for sure.:)

Wow Randy that's an incredible Mojave, I look forward to seeing where your Dinker project goes.

whats up Randy!!
sense your on this subject i thought i would share some updated photos of the guy i got from you, if this helps at all i have had a couple big breeders that know a lot about chocolates say he has a great chance of being one these pictures are ok you really need to see him in person to appreceiate him

I hope you are right about him and thanks for the pictures! I just didn't know enough about the look or I would have hung on to him (Daniel needs a male). Maybe I'll get lucky and the mojave brother of yours that I did use will have that too. There where three distinct types of mojave’s in that clutch; two sisters like the one above, two more typical mojave’s (not that I'm an expert on mojave either) and two males that where a little in between. I sold my male that looked to me to be typical mojave (if I remember right the one like him was a male too) and kept my male from the in-between two (again, I think the other "in-between" was a male too). Probably those four males where just variations in mojave but I've wondered if something else is going on like mom having more than one gene of interest or if some of these could even be Garcia lesser from the other male Marshall tried although that doesn't seem very likely (but who knows, maybe Garcia would darken a lesser to look like a mojave). I'll get a picture of my "mojave" male maybe next week and also maybe bug Marshall too if time permits as I'd love to see how his male that looked pretty solidly Garcia (without Mojave) has turned out over the last year. Also Marshall has been working with mojave for some time so if he kept the brother to the one I’m using maybe by now he can say more about if those I’m calling “in-between” are straight up mojave or not.

Randy sent me the link to this post. Here are a few pictures of the garcia and the mojave garcia. Sorry forr the poor picture quality. I will work on getting some more this week.

Beautiful animals everyone! Randy the three you posted are amazing, good luck with the project.:gj:

Thanks Marshall! No question about that male being the same as his mom (your mojave Garcia girl has that nice brown too). I can see the similarities now between your male and the one I sold that wasn't quite so obvious. If some can be really stand out and some subtle maybe there is still hope that the mojave I kept has the Garcia gene too after all. I'll try to get some good pictures of him this weekend.
