I've been debating on getting rid of the harlies =( Just way too many health issues and as much as I love them, I just can't afford it any longer.

I'll aslo have questions on the Bruns lol... how much different are they then the champs? and I know the champs have a blue variety... is that the only other color?


Ok... I do have one doe, and she is grumpy. But she's mainly all talk and shows no action to attack. But she will growl and squeal... and it makes every judge jump when they touch her lol.

But how are their temperments mostly? or over all as a breed? The health? thats my most important issue is the health. Do they grow as fast as NZ? good mothers over all? generally how many to a litter?

and anything extra you would like to add?

For Argente Breeds there are: Champagne D'Argents, Creme D'Argents (The only Argente breed with in correct grammar) Argente Bruns, Argente Bleus, Argente Lilacs, Argente St.Hubert, and Argente Noirs.

Bruns are smaller then Champagnes at 9lbs average.

Overall their temperaments are fantastic. They are very healthy, I haven't run into any health issues, they are fantastic mothers, they have a better meat to bone ratio and dress out percentage than NZW and Cals. They average 6-9 kits a litter and they've been hitting 5lbs at 8 weeks for me.

Oh their pelts get thick fast so it's best to process them before they get to big unless you want to tan the hides.

Thank you for naming off all of them. i was trying to figure that out yesterday with not much luck. I''ll have to look them up later.

You've said what the majority has so that makes me feel better about them =)

and I really wish i could tan them.
