Elsie and her babies. Added 'Phantom' pic.

Just a quick post of the new mommy and her babies.  You can see the patches of 'tan' on the backsides of the phantoms.  Hard to see at this age but they will show up more as they grow.



There are six puppies!  That little apricot one is being squished by his two sisters.

I wanted to be able to show what a phantom pattern looks like.  This is one of the phantom girls.  Some have more white areas than others but this gives you an idea.  :+)  It is a funny pic as the pup
was NOT happy to be removed from the litter and her momma!

Notice the placement of the apricot color.  It is very specific.  This pup will have a touch of white on her chin and a splash of white on her chest.  Her facial markings will not be 'flashy' but will show up more as she grows.

I have to post this pic because I saw this adorable male over ten years ago on a website in Europe and fell in love with him.  I had wanted to purchase a pup but the breeder did not sell to overseas breeders.  Since then, it has been my goal to produce this pattern and look.  Some things are just worth waiting for.  :+)

  7. Elsie looks amazing for the day after! She is a beauty in her own right & the pups are precious.
    The phantom markings were certainly something to aspire to in breeding. Combined with your attention to health & temperament these puppies will be delightful.
