Myra writes <<<< We had a swimmer in a litter of one. Two swimmers in a litter of two, and a swimmer in a litter of six. My friends had two swimmers in a litter of two, and my other friend had two swimmers in a litter of two. >>>> Now I know Myra is an honest person but these results I find hard to believe!!!!! In all these years and I won't say how many litters I have had 1, I repeat 1 swimmer.
My mind immediately asks; are these litters closely related? are these litters raised with the same husbandry? i.e. same whelping boxes, bedding etc. are these litters fed the same food? are these litters in close geographical proximity to each other or close in time span? I would be most interested in feedback from long time breeders about their incidence of "swimmers" , have I just been unusually lucky or is Myra's information the norm?
