my best female breeder was a brown hooded who is now retired. i kept two of her hooded daughters which are just as wonderful as she was (big litters, great moms) and just kept back two of their daughters to raise up too. observe your females and hold back girls from the very best moms and you'll build yourself an awesome colony!
Well these were the only females they had so I figured snag them while I could. We'll se how things go :D
