Hi,

Intresting.

I think he looks more like a normal amel - I have an old female myself who looks similar but darker. He might well be a butter but I thought they were supposed to have no red at all in them?

I don't know when the caramels were discovered but I know amels were first bred in 1961? If you could nail down the earliest butter produced ( I think it was Rich from fauna that did it? ) that might help with aging him.

My girl was breeding for an ex-boss in 1995 so she should be at least 18 by my count and probably slightly older. She seems fine if a bit of a gutbucket.

This is my girl ( scuse crappy old pics as I haven't taken any lately );







And here's one of her in shed - she goes such a loverly pink colour.
