I've looked at dozens of BCLs over the last year and didn't buy until I found these. BCLs are not all created equal and finding one with the right genetics and quality takes time. These girls are fantastic and you'll want to do right by them in finding a male of equal quality!

I think you'll be really happy you went with the BCLs. Hogs are nice for sure, but there is something just really cool about a quality BCL.

I can't wait to get mine too! April is a long way off.... :P

Thanks Kali. You were right about Mike he seems to be a great guy to deal with. Great advice on being patient. It was hard not to get a male and female from him, but I would like to get an unrelated male to breed to these 2 beauties. I picked these two females because Mike said that in his experience with past litters that #3 was coloring up to have the best chance of looking like the sire, and #10 I picked because she looked totally different ( cleaner pattern and darker color ) than the other. I am very interested to see if this plays a factor in their adult colors.

Wise decision!! :gj:

I sure understand how hard it is to be patient though..... ;)



Btw, I picked the 2 I did because of their pattern. Mike agreed that they should both be very dark as adults, but I wanted the aberrant pattern too. :D

I'm sure that both of yours are going to be smoking as adults, especially the male. If he had another one with his colors I think that I would've had to scoop it up.

He reminds me a lot of his sire. :gj:

Yours are smoking hot too - all of these babies are super nice. It was a terrific litter. I hope Mike repeats it in the future.

How do I contact him?
