Yes, where there is a rare medical defect with a genetic cause it can be increased in population presentation by selective inbreeding, and where there is a a...
I like very much dark colour ferrets, but I really respect about ferrets healthy and their character more than their colours. That's why I ask about that...
The upcoming weekend there will be a ferret show in Norway where all ferrets with any depigmentation will get some deduction of points (not a lot, but still)....
... Bravo! I hope this catches on. But, does the new Norwegian standard also knock off points for albinos? There seems to be little reason to discriminate...
It will be interesting to see what kind of reactions this will provoke, and how much trashing I'll get afterwards (I'm going to be one of the judges on the...
It might be self-defeating in the long run to include albinos rather than focusing specifically on the patterns with the more serious problems, since the...
... Boy, am I ever the WRONG person to ask! I am sure there are AFA and show people here who can say what is happening with the assorted U.S. groups that hold...
After Warp left a transparent whisker on my laptop Steve wound up looking up albino fur variations in ferrets and found this: <http://64.233.179.104/search? ...
Wouldn't it be difficult to perform a meaningful test in the environment of a show? Especially if the hearing loss is only partial? ... was partially deaf...

... The problem is that dog breeders have NOT found ways to avoid defects. Many breeds of dog have bred-in defects, and dog breeders even encourage such...
There are starting to be exclusions. People are not supposed to show deaf dalmations, but ironically the better ranking dalmations often have white ears - and...
... It would be impossible to do a test that won't give false positives, especially with the short time we have to judge each ferret. We have to rely on...
Hello! I like to know if is ok to use albinoferrets on breeding. Is there any risk to get sick babys? I mean to get any blind or deaf babys? Thanks! Linda...
Among ferrets, aside from some eye problems albinos are usually fine to breed. There are exceptions so those lines should be culled by sterilization. Besides...

Noticed something at the ferret show this weekend. It seemed like a lot of the angora ferrets had an unusual bite. The canines didn't fit very well into each...
BTW, aren't stink sacks great? That was one of the things I sooooooooo patted myself on the back for trying decades ago. Then I found that ferret keepers had...
... None that I have noticed. I am not personally convinced that a clean and complete replacement of mitts and bib is a neural crest variation. There don't...
