Soon the Icelandic Sheepdog puppies, offspring from Ullalvas Smari and Vinlands Ulfbehrta Kit will start leaving for their new homes. One boy is still looking for his special forever home. They turned eight weeks old this week. We've been extremely busy. I neglected birthday photos. I'm sorry.
So, I just took some quick snaps in their X-pen. I tried letting them out but they ran around like crazy yelling, "Free the puppies! Free the puppies!" That makes taking pictures , focused photos, impossible.
They are super cute at this age. Watson is a tricolor chocolate-brown boy. That simply means that he has two at-genes which could have made him a black & tan. But he also has two b-genes which turns the black hairs chocolate-brown; it lightens the black. His litter brother is also a tricolor chocolate-brown boy. Their sister is a sable chocolate-brown girl. She also has two b-genes which changes any black hairs she might have had into chocolate-brown hairs. That's all very interesting. BUT, the most important news about this litter, these pups is that their sire was a champion Icelandic Sheepdog in many European countries. You can see the effect of his genes on these pups. They have more substance, more body. Their bone structure has been inherited from dad (and mom). They all have numerous champions and grand champions in the backgrounds of both parents.
Here are three of my recent favorite shots: -
And here are some quick ones from today: -
