We can't guarantee babies from specific litters

Recently there has been a lot of people requesting to place deposits on specific litters. I feel the need to explain why that isn't possible.

Firstly, I breed on a very small scale. I currently only have 3 females. I do not have multiple litters due at the same time and I do not always have babies available. We need to give our mommas an appropriate and safe time between litters.

Next, there are so many things that could go wrong with a breeding or a pregnant momma.
Some examples:

She may not have gotten pregnant.

She might miscarry/have a premature birth.

The momma might pass away due to complications.

She might kill her babies once they are born.

Young babies may pass away for unknown reasons.

There are NUMEROUS things that could happen. I cannot predict if a litter is going to be successful. I cannot predict how many babies a momma will have (if any at all!).

I try to be as clear as I can which is why I explain that I cannot guarantee babies from specific litters.

If youd like to join our waiting list, babies will be available as they become available. I can't speed up the process. Most litters are successful.  All we can do is be patient and keep our fingers crossed for no complications and healthy litters! :)
