I think that your strategy sounds good. If I would have gone back and changed which animals I go, I would have gotten less single gene males. At the time, multigene males were still on the expensive side so I opted to get some high quality single gene males.

I just wish I had more breed-able females because of my original 6-7 animals, only 2 of those females are breeding size. One of the "females" was mis-sexed, so that didn't help either! Since then, I have picked up a lot of single and double gene females that should be ready to breed by fall of 2014 or 2015. Quite a long wait, but I have some really fun males to pair with my single genes, double genes and normals until then!
