    Just wondering what everyone basic average is for those who breed.

    Molly's average was 4. 3 litters, 3 in the first, 2 in the 2nd and 7 in the fourth. Out of that, there were 4 blues, 8 tri colors. 4 females, 8 males.

    Lizz had 5. 4 tri, 1 blue. 2 female, 3 male.

    Faith had an average of 7.5, with 8 in her first litter, 7 in her 2nd. A mix of tri's and tri-factored sables. Can't remember how many of each.

    Faith is Lizz's mother, who is Molly's mother.
