Hello Folks,
Well it looks like Greenstone Maria has found her new home, and she is going to be one lucky little dog, she even has a playmate of the woof kind.. The great news is that she is going to a home in Ontario, so I hope that at some point, I might get to see her again as an adult.
Well, I have had some interest in what my coming planned litters are, and the one that is for sure will be between Ch Belglen Runa of Greenstone and PineridgeIcelandics Vaskur. Mom is a med coated Chin carrying Black Tri and dad to be is a Black Silver Tri, Long Coated, so that means that all puppies should be Med or Long coated Chins or Black Silver Tri's.. Excellent clean health info on both parent dogs, and great show prospects are hoped for.
Reservations recommended.. to give you a idea of what I am expecting in terms of what a long coated Black Silver Tri looks like.. here is Greenstone Black Moon.. Now I would expect more refinement in the offspring, I will include photos of Black Pearl, I would expect the puppies to be more in type to her, but for what a Black Silver Tri looks like.. her brother Black Moon is the better example..
Now you maybe wondering what "Chin" or Black Silver Tri vs Black Tri means.. So a Chin Icelandic Sheepdog is a Yellow Gene ISD, that has the Dilute Chin Gene, which means that all "red" hairs on the body are lightened by this gene till the dog is a darkish cream color.. The Chin gene does not work on Black hairs, so if the dog is a Black tri, the tan tri markings can also be effected by the Chin Gene, (see below, Black Moon's tan markings are cream colored, as he is a Black Silver Tri, and Black Pearl's are a deep dark Tan color as she is full pigemented.)
