I can't tell you who is breedig the ferrets in Manitoba, but the vet doing the operations is: Morden Vet Clinic Box 745 Morden, MB. R6M 1A7 My observations on the Canadians is that they seem larger, more athletic, but have stranger colors (more are mutts than good patterns), and it will have to wait a few more years before we will know if they are healthier or live longer than MF or home growns. In the VERY beginning, the females were being shipped out with the stitches still in place (blue sucher) and I had jills coming into the shelter at 1.5 years of age withthe stitches still intact. That at least has now stopped. Pam Grant STAR* [Posted in FML issue 1295]
