Litter 3: Loch x GOT Ashki

Picture
     This pairing was a very special start for me with Ashki. He has fathered several litters for me, but this was his first. He is a black variberk with a head spot and standard ear (carries dumbo.) He'll be reaching 3 years old in November 2019 and was produced from Sylvi and Carl. He was paired to Loch, fawn variegated with standard ears. At the time, I was struggling to find a female to breed since I did not know line breeding was a thing back then, he could have been bred back to his mother. Line/in breeding is the only true way to properly track health and temperament history, as well as establish a proper line, which is what I do now. 
     I was able to come across Loch and Nessie, who I thought were coming from a reputable breeder. A friend at the time was picking them up for me. However, it turned out they came from a feeder breeder instead. This wasn't told to me until they had already been bred and were very pregnant. ​This was Loch's first, and only, litter. Her temperament background was unknown, so the litter was more for testing. Luckily, I had several wonderful babies produced from this pairing, but the mother had extreme maternal aggression. The maternal aggression is why this litter is to be her only one. It was a shame because she was the first, and only, rat I have ever had that wiggled her tail when I scratched her ears and sides, so I was hoping for more babies with this kind of personality.
