As I've said before I'm a crap photographer so here goes. I've done my best so that you can see the length of fur.

I have a few with fur this long so I'm breeding them together to see how long I can get it.
This one is also satin.

I am loving your Longhairs
I have just had my first litter from a semi LH doe and a longhaired buck so hopefully the bubs will have LH.

thanks,

I have some that are reallylong haired.
The young in the litter from these these two longhaired and a SH banded fawn are very longhaired but I cna't get any pics of them at the moment as they are like 'Zebedee'!!!!!!
I'll try and get some pics in a more normal stance but these are very jumpy mice. I dont' know if it's becuase they are argente or not????

Its such a shame you are so far away, I'd love some LH does from you. Such is life :roll:
Pics of my bubs are in Current Litters. When does the LH start to show on babies?

With these the long hair is apparent by about the 14-16th day.
Some of my 'not so longhaired' can take a little longer to notice though.

I've foudn the litters are not as strong as the normal litters so I take them down to about 4-5 at the stage I can tell they have long hair. This gives the longhaired pups a better chance of growing to a reasonable size.
I do the same with the astrex and texel. Unfortunately you have to wait a little longer to cull than you would normally but it makes for better pups. If you keep an entire litter they are usually runty little things.
