Wow!! I am thrilled to see info about the Demi Gigas in print finally! I got a hob because I thought he was so exceptional.... one of the most exquisite ferrets I ever saw... and such a teddy bear! Despite the size, just so sweet and cuddly.. he's a black point named Ares and I just adore him. Of all my ferrets, he is the only one I actually have a waiting list for the kits he sires. Even though I knew the breeder had called him a "dimegious" I had no clue exactly what that meant until now. How wonderful to finally know the story behind them!! And the correct spelling... *G* Add me to any list that sings the praises of this beautiful, exceptional, sweet, wonderful line! Only question I do have is this: Ares is about 6 pounds, very muscular, with a short, fat face (but he is not fat at all).. and actually has these little "bulldog" types jowls on his cheeks. I also have his Half-brother who is identical, but without the jowls.... are these jowls normal in the Demi Gigas??
