Icelandic Sheepdog Puppy Updates

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.)

Dalla's Girls new photos

Dalla's daughters are a nice looking group. From top to bottom are the Duchess of York, Marquesa Esmeralda, Empress of India, and Imperitritsa Maria. All but the latter went over to investigate the chickens at one point, and I'm sure Maria would have joined them if she hadn't been napping.

Dalla's Boys new photos

At the top we have Duke of York - or just Duke - and below we have Marcus Aurelius. Both are very outgoing, with Marcus being among those who wandered over to check out the turkeys and chickens during the photo-shoot.

Ada's Pups, New Photos

Hi folks,

When Val's away, the puppys still play, and it's up to me to see if I can post a few pics for you all to enjoy.

From top to bottom, we have Cool Hand Luke, Cleopatra Jones, Foxy Brown, and The Outlaw Josey Wales. These little ones enjoyed a few minutes on the lawn before going inside for a snooze. Their tails are beginning to curl around, and all are quite happily devouring scrambled eggs when the opportunity presents itself. If they see or hear me coming their way, they all come a-running...

I'll try to have some pics of Dalla's pups up tomorrow...

Puppy updates, starting solid food this week, ears are up on almost all the puppies, tails are up and starting to come over the backs, Duke's tail is already starting to curl over. All the puppies are enjoying Grandma V's company very much and think her lap is a excellent place to take a snuggle and a puppy nap in. The puppies are getting much more out time in different area's of the house, and are starting to play with toy's this week as well. Outside time is a daily event and is much loved.. today it rained to much so new toys and a good romp in the living room was in order.

Photo updates to come in the near future.
