Let's chat

What can I say about the wonderful new breed, the Lionhead?  They are
cute as buttons, smart, inquisitive, energetic, sweet and naughty at the same
time, and so interesting to breed and observe.  They are true breeders, the
does are excellent mothers, they rarely have first-time litter disasters...on
and on.

Their origin is Belgium.  In the 1990s, breeders began to cross the
Netherland (Belgium) Dwarf with the Swiss Fox, then eventually introduced
the Jersey Wooly.  They started to be imported to the United States from
England in 1999.  Personally, I discovered them in 2004 when I purchased a
trio.  Soon I acquired bucks and does from different lines from my original
foundation stock, and now have about 4 different breed lines making up my
herd.

At this point in time, there are 8 COD (certificate of development) colors:  
Tort, black, sable point, siamese sable, ruby-eyed white, chestnut, fawn and
blue.  Tort is the only color that has passed the first presentation.  Until that
color passes successfully in two more presentations at ARBA conventions,
no other colors will be presented  

Because breeders crossed unusual colors when the breed was first
introduced both abroad and in the U.S., many bizarre color combinations
crop us even when breeding standard COD colors.  For example, the sable
point marten on the left.  That is not a recognized COD color, but
nevertheless, is quite stunning.
