They are gorgeous.
I am not having any luck at the moment, I have a stunning orange texel that I want to father a litter. I have left him in with 2 different girls and he has not been able to get either of them pregnant.

Is he a fawn colour like my Sandy? They (yellow based) can have fertility problems as they get older....they are best to breed young, from 3 months up until 8 months i've found. Bella is 8 months and been with a couple of males and just cant seem to fall, so i have retired her from the breeding program.
He also maybe too young. Is he at all overweight (yellow based are prone to it), that too can be a factor in him not being able to sire.
How long do you leave your girls with him?

He is unfortunately sterile, I have to accept that. He has been with females since he was 3 mths old sometimes for months at a time with no success. But he is gorgeous and makes a lovely companion for the females.
I will just have to try with a litter that I got got from his sister and hope I get a good throw back to their great uncle.
