Pedigree NARR: 12MLWR0014/01M Nickname: Archie Color: Russian Fawn Ears: Standard Coat: Standard Markings: Self Carries: Dumbo, possibly mink, possibly american blue, possibly satin D.O.B. 02/14/12 D.O.D. 06/6/13 Cause of Death: Respiratory Failure Litter Page: BVR Newton Pulsifer x BVR Anathema Device at MLWR, Individual Page Breeding Status: Pet Only Show Results: 2012 RFL Spring Show Best Youth Buck, 2012 RFL Fall Show - Did Not Place Notes: Archimedes is a great little guy! While he was always the smallest guy in the litter, he was also the most energetic and determined baby, first to explore outside of the nest, first with his eyes open, and always ready to check things out! He's a very friendly and outgoing guy. He also had the richest, darkest color of any of the babies, which we could see even before his hair started growing in. He has a great build with a nicely shaped head. We are looking forward to watching him develop and grow! While Archimedes is a very sweet and handsome guy, he has remained fairly small, and has a strange ribby feel to him, much like his father and uncle, that makes us uncomfortable with the idea of using him for breeding. We love having him around with his brothers as a pet, his antics and sweetness are great to have, but at this time we are keeping him as a pet only. Archie developed the same sort of problem faced by his father, uncles, and brother, showing signs of respiratory problems that progressed over time, ultimately taking him from us. His remaining siblings have yet to show signs of it, which hopefully will allow us to progress away from what took him and his relatives. Rest in peace, little man. We'll miss you. |
