Almost out of time on here, but I just wanted to post my thoughts/reaction to some grown offspring!
Pups from Atoli01 and I (
Spade &
Junkou):
Pup A: He reminds me the most of his mother despite the darker coloring, and is a reminder that Shepherd and Doberman look amazing paired together, holy crap. I love the socks marking on him too - I feel like it adds the final touch and that he would look like he was missing something without it.
Pup B: I was really looking forward to seeing her grow up, and she did not disappoint! I almost feel like she's an inverted version of her father - instead of a dark Hyaena/Coontail and a light Starspeckles, she has the opposite. It's very striking, in my opinion.
Pup C: Oh my word I don't even know where to begin with her. I adore the light Shepherd marking under her Hyaena, and I
think that her Hyaena has a radial gradient, which I'm obsessed with. I love the matching gradients in the Coontail and Hyaena as well.
Pup D: I'll admit that he was the one I was least sure about, just because he popped so much with that darker base of his. But he looks quite handsome now. I love the creamy vanilla color of his Doberman and Tailtip, and I feel like the Hyaena just ties it all together as a sort of in-between color.
All in all for this litter, I honestly don't think I could pick a favorite. I seriously love all of them, and I couldn't be any happier about how they turned out <3
Chicks from Jed and I:
I never showed these when they were chicks, mostly because I honestly had no idea what to expect when breeding the two parents we rented. But I have to say that both turned out lovely.
Chick A: This one will be staying with Jed. I love those colors together, and they look really good on a dark base. I especially love the adorable blue of the feathers where the wings connect to the shoulders.
Chick B: This Soveris was exactly what I wanted out of this pairing. She really reminds me of a sunset, with her orange/pink/magenta body. I love her Gail marking (which is one I've really been wanting), and the color of her eyes and that black beak is just perfect.
