Naturally thrown BEWs are quite healthy but now breeders have found out how
to breed for them they end up with a lot of silvers(sterlings?) that get
passed on. I ended up with 3 from this type of stock and only one Jill has
remained healthy, she turned 6 this year. Most of the original kits produced
in the early 90s did not make their third year. Chris.
