Thank you They're all coming along nicely but Im still pleased with the one I picked during the summer and feel he's going to be very good. The trouble is they develop at a slow rate and dont look their best till their 3rd year!

Tbitt - Im pleased you like them and Im sure when you're ready you would be able to locate anice pair in the USA
ChaseB2 - its ok I was just wondering if you know the background of your pair. I hope they do well in the Spring for you and produce some fine Dewlaps, you may even get some Buffs...
Hi there
They're a lovely pair with very good dewlap development The male is showing a very good keel and has a nice strong head. At 3 years old I would expect them to breed in the Spring, did they attempt breeding this year at all?
You must be very pleased to have a Buff female and...
Hi there
They all look lovely and with strong heads too I see they're enjoying the water which is surprising as my Dewlaps dislike the main pond and prefer a paddling/wading pool
Do try to get some posted of them out of the water so we can see their overall shape

Hi Lisa
Do you go onto Cottage Roses forum? (Sebastopol Geese Lovers). There's lots of information there and Im on it frequently under the same username

Hi Lisa
Yes, with the young birds still actively growing they have constant access to Growers Pellets and graze. I find when they come out in the morning the feed up on the pellets and then bathe before settling again. Then they seem to go off and eat the grass for a while but soon return for...
Hi Lisa
Lovely to hear from you again and many thanks for your positive comments which are always appreciated
Glen seems to be developing fine and I rather like his head development and beak. All looks nicely in proportion and signs of dewlap development. With our Dewlaps goslings I keep...
Im afraid the problems not with export or import into the UK. It's just Holderreads dont export to the UK anymore but I did ask them.
However, I am thinking of asking a friend to buy some (I'll be paying for them) and then when they breed importing the goslings It's early days but it might...
Hi there
Thank you for the positive comments and all being well it does look like we got a good potential exhibition Dewlap in young Duval but he's still got quite a bit of developing to do We'll be quite sad when his father gets too old and we're having a last try this Spring to line breed...
Hi Ryan
Buffbeauty has given you excellent advise in going to Holderread. Our best Gander is Holderread and his offspring are very good.
There's more information on Dewlaps on our website

Hi
Really pleased to hear that you've ordered your Holderread Dewlaps. You'll be really pleased with them and just wish I lived over in the States so I could get some more. Our Holderread Gander allows breeds youngsters that are large with the Holderread type and his genes seem to over-ride...
Hi All
I know that many of you followed our incubation and hatching threads that we posted earlier in the year. Well many of those pictures were of our Dewlap Toulouse and from this years goslings we've been steadily assessing our youngsters.
Overall we're very pleased as we've also bred some...
