Thanks, yep we need more Minnesotans in the hobby. :)

Here are some older pics of the parents. I was kind of thrown off by the banding as well and had the hmmmm are they pure?

If not I'm am fairly certain it would be the father that has mixed blood. I'll post pics of them and see what you think.

Here is the male lots of different pics couldn't get him to stay still. I also had to enhance the pics so they weren't to dark.

The male looks like a very clean nicely patterned IJ :gj: And the photo of the female in the blue bucket is great! Really shows off her colors! I likey! :D :salute:

Thanks it was the male I was concerned about not being pure because he didn't have as much striping as the female. I picked him up at Tinley three years ago in October from some bigger company (like LLL but can't remember the name off hand) as an IJ. Still waiting on one hacthing to pop out and then I will take pics of the clutch. Thanks again.

Im such a sucker for IJ's

well, to me they both look like pure IJ's but i'm definitely not an expert with the IJ's. they look nice either way!

Thanks I do like the fact they don't get to big.

They both look pure to me but without proof from the breeder, it is speculation. It is common for IJ's to be both banded and striped in the same clutch.

Nice IJs, both the babies and the parents. I'm with Michael here. They look like pure IJs to me and I'd feel comfortable calling them such.

As for not getting too big, I'll have to find a picture of my big male, Wally. He's about 7ft and can eat a 1lb rabbit if he chooses. :P

wally is AWESOME =]

They look like pure IJ to me, but I'm no big breeder working with a lot of carpets.

They all look great.

Wow that is huge. Both the parents I would guess are around 5 feet and weigh roughly around 1200 grams. I appreciate the comments. I will post pics of all the babies when they shed. So far none have been nippy but maybe that is to come.
