Greenstone "Royal" litter has arrived!

Hello Folks

Photos will be coming later today with each puppy getting their own page, which will have their page updated each week with new photos, so instead of a new entry per week, you will be able to watch the puppies grow up on one page, just like the old website.

Six very active and healthy puppies have been born to Dalla, out of Darri,

Puppy #1 - Red/White, White blaze, White Collar, White Socks, and White Tail Tip, appears to be a med coat. The first born pup was a male

Puppy #2 - Dark Red/ White, Extreme Pied, Mostly White, Color on one ear, and side of face, mostly white body, right back to her rump, where she has a wide stripe of color and white tail - Female - Pet Quality due to Lack of correct to standard Color. Appears to be a med coat. Double Dewclaws

Puppy #3 - Light Tan ( I think she is a Chincilla)/White -Stunning to Standard Pied, Full White Head all the way back to her full White Collar, then the body has lots of color, in a very interesting and simple pretty pattern across her back, with a white tail, very striking! Appears to be a med coat - Female Single Dewclaws

Puppy #4-Dark Red/White- Wide White Blaze (hourglass) to a small collar, white socks and white tail tip, Appears to be a Med coat, female , Single Dewclaws

Puppy # 5 - Dark Sable Red /White - Pied, this puppy is so dark that she appears Black but in certain lights , you can see the highlights that show she is in fact a VERY dark red. Truly Stunning to Standard in markings in regards to Pied, she has lots of color, very evenly placed over her body, and she has a lovely ying/yang face, with white legs and tail tip. Appear to be a long hair at the moment. Single Dewclaws on one side, and Double Dewclaws on other side

Puppy #6 - Med Red/White, Smaller Blaze, leading into a smaller Collar, with white socks, and white tail tip, Appears to be a Med Coat, and yet another lovely little female. Double Dewclaws.

The litter is very even in size, all the puppies are with a few grams of each other, just what we like to see, all were born without need of any outside help, momma dog did it all, all the puppies came out strong and kicking at day 63.

They have already started a nice steady gain overnight, and are starting to get their newborn fat bottoms :), the first place to start the weight gains after they come out, they are a nice quiet, twitching very colorful pile of newborn Icelandic Sheepdog Puppies.

So will double check all my sex's this morning, always do a quick check when born but really don't want to upset momma dog by taking them away to often, and will check dewclaws etc at that time. - Double Check done now, and its confirmed we have one males and four females, Five to standard in Color and pattern, now to see them develop and one Pet Qaulity- Due only to her extreme amount of white, otherwise, perfect Family pet and very healthy.

One Day old Update: Puppies are doing wonderful, everyone is gaining weight, and looking great, Momma dog is doing wonderful and will work on each puppies page tomorrow. Watch for updates! We are still expecting another litter of ISD any day now, and we are still taking applications for Show/Performance/Pet Puppies at this time.

Two Day old Update: Puppies are thriving and are a warm puppy puddle of color and they say, we nurse, sleep, twitch and then nurse, and then sleep and then momma dog cleans us, and then we sleep, annnn you get the idea... hmm sleeeeepppppp

So one litter is here and the next is due any day now..
