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....
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.

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.
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.
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.
