We do have one main Fur breed in the shed and that is the Siberian

​

We were introduced to this breed through acquiring a stud of Golden Glavcots, the Brown Siberian is a fantastic bold rich dark brown colour and certainly ticked boxes for us...especially with the chocolate colour theme running in the shed, Sib's (3rd down) is an amazing character and certainly a favorite with many in the family.

 

The Siberian does come in 4 colours Black, Blue, Brown and Lilac...they must be of the same shade all over and present a distinct and even 'flecking'. They have a roll back or blanket fur  and when they are turned in a reverse position their fur must give the appearance of having been sheared or pulled (and must expose as few guard hairs as possible). They are neat with moderate length of body, slightly arched back, medium boned feet and legs. Head to be longer more than square with a short neck. Ears 4inches long, weight between 5-7lb.

 

Once we had the Brown Siberian in the shed...it was obvious with our love for the dilutes the lilac Siberian would come along :) with Laurel Bensons help a beautiful pair of Lilac Sib's winged there way over from Northern Ireland through a sad turn of events with the breeder Trevor Rawlings giving up due to severe health issues, as well as a doe from Laurel, within 6 months the first of our litters were born and with credit to the original stock we have already won 2 stock shows as well as a BiS at a local club.

 

Our Lilacs have slowed down at the moment not due to me wanting them to lol but we have acquired 6 new brown siberians through the niece of a well respected siberian breeder who had unfortunetly passed away suddenly Gordon Meakins we hope to do both Gordon and Trevors memory proud.

 

Our other Fur Breed is not something we are actually thinking of having as a stud but she was needed for another project and will stay with us anyway she is an Argente Creme called 'Princess'. A beautiful colour and quite a character in her own way lol (5th bottom left).
