Both fathers appear to have good coats. I think it may be in the genetics when Xena and Hercules are paired together. The only decent offspring to come off them is Cupcake. Her coat is perfect and there hasn't been any problems with her. Her brothers, however, was completely different. Apart from the one losing the use of his back legs, both appeared to have had their coats thinning in places. Crumpet has lost a lot of his coat mainly around the neck and back. I'm not using him but I can't sell him either because he looks a mess.

I think Beethoven is the teddy boar to use with another teddy sow. I will use Hercules with non-teddy sows and get some carriers, probably do the same with Xena. May even try her with Beethoven and see if we can get more improved offspring.
