wow that's pretty heavy , nearly 10lb?? if that's about right, ...Think she still looks older to me Stu than 40 years, I would say at that weight she is maybe a whitei, though expected a bit more curl on the end, but will bow to better knowledge, if concave underneath and long tail then highly likely a boy rather than a girl. Definitely a spur as I can see them just and think tail looking longer so will say Boy whitei, Algerian.
See what others views are too....he is stunning. CB

I agree with Flash being a male and a spur thigh but would guess at TGG, as I don't have any personal experience with spur thighs.
He certainly looks pretty old and a lovely-looking tort you've inherited.

Hi
thanks for the replys. I double checked the weight today, and i was right. 40+ is a guess.My wife has had Flash, since she was a girl.(Never ask a lady her age ).They don't know how old the Tort was then. Would a pic of the tail help.I can take some tomorrow. edit:def spurs either side of the tail. |
