Is there such a thing as Dwarf ASFs?
A couple of weeks ago, I was pulling pups and pinks to be euthanized, and I noticed that the latest litter from one of my breeding females looked REALLY tiny and weak (and poorly covered in fur--you can easily see the skin at 4 weeks).
I decided that the female was producing inferior offspring and I euthanized her along with her 2 sisters and (just to be safe) the male. I kept 2.2 if the offspring just to see how they would develope.
Now those 2.2 offspring have developed a full coat and e males testicles have dropped and darkened, but they are SO TINY.
I will try and post a comparison picture of the offspring when I get back home, showing them beside cohorts from a different litter, so you guys can see how much smaller they are.
Is there such a thing as dwarfism among ASFs?
