I love his purely white belly

Very nice critter Rich!

Thanks ziggy
He is just starting to feel solid now and getting on for 5ft so don't think he will be massive as he's 3 in summer

Very nice Rich! Smaller males usually make for better breeders anyways. ;)

Could you explain the reasoning behind that?

[Andy_G]

EDIT : LARGER MALES tend to have excess fat, lower fertility rates, are not as active as they require and expend more energy for their functions, and sometimes they can intimidate the female. Many sources will site this. A slender 5 foot male will always outbreed a big thick 8 foot male.

Edited for clarity. :)

That's interesting,thanks for that Andy
