      Photo must have been taken early in 2005 then - wasn't it March 2005 that Loja arrived and the second male (cannot recall his name) left the collection?

      Other male was 'Valentine'.

      I like the story that 'Strolch' was always referred to as 'Estrolch' because of a typo in the original spelling of his name.:rolleyes:

      Not to mention the fact that his name translates into German as "thug" or "vagabond" :cool: which contrasts quite remarkably with the more romantic sounding Valentine!

      Was it Valentine, Strolch's brother who went to South Africa?

      He's the only male they've had that was sent elsewhere, so presumably yes.

      I think(?) they were brothers, though not necessarily from the same litter.
