We're taking it as it comes and hoping that last years two lost litters were down to it being Maple and Blossoms first kits.

As for breeders to watch out for, in my opinion (and it may be slightly biased) but I think George has to have been the best of the intact skunks born this year. He's 99.99% bombproof, not even the 8 week old puppy we are puppy sitting at the moment has set him off. He was bred by Nic and Mike (Gills and Geckos) down in St Austell, Cornwall, thet come highly recommended by Lou and myself.

If I was ever to get a skunk that is the only place I would get one from!

if i have a successful breed from ichi i think mine will be pretty bomb proof as there will be brought up with a can and 2 german Shepard x st Bernards

Do you think that is how to get bombproof skunk kits? I was thinking a stressless quiet upbringing for Koko's offspring because thats what we did with Bear and he is bombproof.. in that he has never sprayed but then I didnt raise him from birth so maybe it was his experience before I got him anyway.

This is where it is smart to buy off an experienced breeder like gills n geckos who know how to socialise skunks if they are to be fully loaded.

i think different people have different ways of bringin skunks up to be social, and i dont think any are wrong so long as it works
