What better way to bring in 2014 than with the possibility of a successful mating!

We are deeply in the early stages of finding a 'date' for Camden.  Our first attempt at the long distance wining and dining has failed so we are preparing for Plan B.  I really, really wanted to have a litter of solid mediums but it was too early in my new young stud's life to collect him for shipment.  HOWEVER, since the litter between Camden and Jaxon was wonderful in every way, I am hoping we will not be too late to use Jaxon for a repeat performance.

Hazel at 1 year.

Mae as a youngster.
Their first pairing prompted me to keep two girls back and just before Christmas, I was able to test Hazel Mae. So far, her testing looks stellar!



Maybelline will be done soon and I am hopeful she will do as well as her sister.  Both girls are friendly, smart and adorable and I am hearing the same from their sibling owners.  So, if all goes well, we will have a repeat performance.  :+)

If successful, another apricot and white parti could happen (like Mae), or a bunch of apricots (like Hazel) will be born.  This mating will ONLY produce creams, apricots, or apricot/white parti markings.  Although Camden is a solid medium, Jaxon is a mini so we are wide open on sizes!

We will all have to wait to see how this drama unfolds.

  1. Little Mae is picture perfect! What a sweet color combination she has! I still dream of a parti ...we have our apricot, and our beautiful black. Wonder where we'll fit a parti in ...?

    1. I cannot deny the truth of that statement, Joyce ;-) There are worse things to be hopelessly addicted to, though, yes? And lets face it, they are an incredibly endearing breed!
