Wilson White - Mosaic
Born: 22nd August 1998
1st Ribbon Winner
Born one of three kits, Mimosa and her sister Lily were delivered in rapid succession, the third kit a male mosaic was born dead two hours later.
Mimosa appears to be lighter furred than her sister and her baby fur seems more soft - so the likelihood is that she may turn out to be a silver as she grows.
She was a rather shy kit and spends most of her time tucked away under her mum - but puts on a good turn of speed when you are attempting to catch her to weigh her!
Since weaning Mimosa has become very bolshy and loves to be the first to throw herself at the door for a treat and come out for a run about. She hates her tail being held though, which is a real problem when trying to groom her as she screams with frustration - very noisy!
Both Lily and Mimosa have being doing well in the shows so shall be staying as future breeding stock.
