There are three male puppies still available from the May 2025 litter. Their sire has beautiful tan markings, and the puppies are all marked with various patterns that will mostly evolve into tan. The genetics for the tan markings lead to very dark faces at birth, which rapidly fade to tan over the first few months. A photo of the sire is posted at bottom right, to show the tan/golden coloring. The dam is completely white.
Contrary to what you might think, we "saved the best for last". Yellow and Blue underwent genetic testing; the results showed that they are both of show/breeding quality. Orange was not tested, but he is an energetic and friendly pup who is equally beautiful.
These photos were taken when the puppies were 9 weeks old and were enjoying the holiday weekend. These are "action shots" by necessity because there was no time when they were not running around! They have had their first vet visit and are ready to go to their new homes.
Their temporary names are as follows:
Left to right (two photos of each pup, one above the other on a computer screen): Yellow, Orange, Blue
General Comments:
Weight at birth, and as young puppies, does not necessarily correlate with adult size.
When puppies are marked, the markings will fade as the puppies age...but will not completely disappear. Puppies that will have all-tan ("golden") markings start out with an extremely dark face; the markings lighten by the time they are two months old and continue to lighten somewhat after that. Badger marked puppies have very distinct markings in black, grey, and tan that fade somewhat as they age, remaining darkest on the ears. All-white puppies often have very faint beige markings that are visible after a bath.
