My long haired dwarf babies are often everyone’s favourite. The harley is possibly the most difficult variety to breed. After years of work, I have been rather successful with this variety. Many around the world stating, that I have some of the best harleys available today. Long silky hair, in various colors and patterns. All with dumbo ears. Almost all of my breeding rats carry the long haired gene.
Silvermane
Harley/long haired satin
Silvermane
The silvermane is a beautiful variety, the tips of the hair are clear which creates a silvered effect. Silvermanes are always changing their look, some are heavily silvered and others much less. The silvermane typically has a mask around the nose area, of the original color of the coat. The silvermane fur is satin soft. My silvermanes come in all colors, and coat types. All have dumbo ears.
Velveteen
Velveteens are a thick wavy super soft variety. Some have mistaken my velveteens for long haired, as they have a medium to long coat, that is very plush, super soft and slight wavy. Velveteens come in all colors and pattern, all with dumbo ears
Odd Eyed
Snowflake
Odd Eyed
Odd Eyed rats can be any color and pattern. Often they have a blaze. The eye color is 2 different colored eyes. Often a blk and bright red and sometimes a ruby and bright red. I do get multiple odd eyed babies in my dwarf litters, when 1 parent is odd eyed
Plush
Snowflake
Odd Eyed
This coat type I refer to as plush is distinctly different then any other coat type I have and is very much like the Australian silky. There is a small possibility this is the aussie silky gene, as my original bloodline that produces this plush fur, has Australian blood way back. As that is where my chocolate color came from.

This coat type I refer to as plush is distinctly different then any other coat type I have and is very much like the Australian silky. There is a small possibility this is the aussie silky gene, as my original bloodline that produces this plush fur, has Australian blood way back. As that is where my chocolate color came from. The coat almost looks long haired at first, often has a metallic undercoat and is incredibly soft silky to the touch
Snowflake

Snowflake
Snowflake is a new gene at GBR that came to Canada in 2022. There is very little documented on the genetics of this variety. I am very grateful to have a connection with the potential founder of the line in the USA, where the genetics I have came from. I was surprised to get dwarfs in my 2nd generation, however I did know it was possible
Snowflake is a new gene at GBR that came to Canada in 2022. There is very little documented on the genetics of this variety. I am very grateful to have a connection with the potential founder of the line in the USA, where the genetics I have came from. I was surprised to get dwarfs in my 2nd generation, however I did know it was possible as there is a GBR torti harley dwarf back a few generations. Some of the best temperaments in rats that I have seen came from this line. Typically velveteen coats in blk, russian blue and American blue.

This is by far my favourite and best line. They are the total package. I needed to give them a name, as they are distinctly different from all of my other lines. Beautiful structure and head type.

This is by far my favourite and best line. They are the total package. I needed to give them a name, as they are distinctly different from all of my other lines. Beautiful structure and head type. Naturally trusting and fearless personalities. They bond very strongly with their people and are comparable to puppies, as they always want to be with you and are unbelievably sweet and loving. I decided to refer to them as my house blend, as they are an original line here and have always been very consistent in producing excellent health and temperament. They have been crossed into all of my other lines. However when bred within their own line they stand out in every way. They do come in long haired, various colors and often are unique as they come in colors and patterns that are thought to be extinct, rare or not believed to exist. The females in this line are generally quite large, some would think they are compact chubby standards.

My powder blue line has been in my rattery since the beginning, however I had kept it as a separate line of short haired american blue for many years, as I knew eventually my plan would be to create beautiful pastel like powder blues with big dark eyes in short haired and soft plush flowing velveteen coats. This line has a beautiful active playful character and a medium to small size. The health has always been great in this line. I still have a few goals I am working on appearance wise as health and temperament don’t require any improving.
