The Babies are Six Weeks Old!



The babies are growing so fast, it is hard to believe six weeks has gone by.
We are seeing such personable puppies, happy, bouncy, cuddly and fun!
This week, we set them up for stacked shots, at least as good as one can get for six week old pups, who love to be on the move!
Mr. Green: Our pick male, he is developing into a beautiful pup with the classic Shiloh look. We would love to see this boy move forward into a breeding home.
Mr. Black: A well balanced pup with a super personality, this boy will resemble Shilo from the Foxy/Blue litter, quite handsome!
Mr. Orange: We will be watching this boy for another two weeks, he has some good potential and is a love.
Mr Navy: This boy is the biggest and heaviest, but has faded pigment, stemming from the influence of the Malamute added years ago. He is going to resemble a wolf in coloring once full grown and will definitely be an attention grabber. Sweet as sugar, he is very loving.
Miss Periwinkle: Our pick female, this girl is a looker, and if she isn't snatched up into a breeding home, she will be staying right here. She has the intense, piercing look in her eyes, and is a beautiful well balanced pup.
Miss Cream: Another really nice girl, although short in the body, we will watch her for another two weeks too. She is a fun, bouncy pup and a real talker!
Miss Burgandy: This girl looks just like Precious from the Foxy/Blue litter and will resemble her Grandma Foxy when full grown. She is a very soft pup and will need a gentle hand in her upbringing.
Miss Purple: Hope, our shining star. This little girl beat the odds, and although small, she is all heart. You know what they say, "Good things come in small packages!" Hope has a home close by and has been named BelleGrace's Rainbow of Hope by her new owner.
Miss Yellow: The biggest girl, this Remy look alike is another beautiful pup with a fabulous head, good length of leg, overall a nice package.

Wow, I can say we had reasons for doing this breeding: to pull in small ears, good underjaw which is lacking in many Shilohs, big broad heads with definite stops, wide chests, and to lock in the look of Foxy and Grace. I can't wait for two more weeks and the LER.
For more information on this fabulous litter, and to bring one of these special babies into your home, please contact us. Both males and females are still available.

First Trip Outside!



The babies had their first trip outside and had a blast. They discovered a whole new world outside their whelping pen. This litter reminds us so much of the litter Grace is from, the Foxy/Blue litter. Yellow girl looks like Remy, Burgandy girl looks like Precious, Black boy looks like Shilo, and Periwinkle is a feminine version of Smokey. Cream girl will resemble her grandsire, Blue.
Visit this link and see for yourselves.

We continue to see these babies developing into exactly what we were breeding for: puppies with wide heads, tiny ears, short broad muzzles, beautiful stops, and underjaw! Generally, we are seeing broad chests, bodies, and mostly good tails. Their personalities are equal to Grace's first litter: loving and cuddly, happy and bouncy, fun puppies all around. These babies are going to grow into absolutely stunning adults. Lil' Hope, although our smallest girl, is still well balanced and such fun. The pups are already paper trained, and growing up much too fast.
Please contact us for more information on this fabulous litter!

We Are 4 1/2 weeks old now!



We are now 4 1/2 weeks old and are starting to look like real puppies! We bark and play and pull each others ears and tails. We are eating like little piggies, we love feeding time! Mom stops in and visits us from time to time.

Update:
We are seeing some beautiful heads on most of the pups, and beautiful small ears. Bodies are broad, most have adequate bone for their age, and for the most part, good tails. Pictures just don't do them justice. At 4 1/2 weeks, here are our observations. Please remember these babies can change dramatically over the next 3 weeks. It is impossible to tell at this point who will be companion quality and who will be breeding quality.
Green boy: Stunning, beautiful head, great underjaw, all over well balanced, our pick for males.
Yellow girl: This girl is the biggest, a happy go lucky personality, and she reminds of so much of Grace's sister, Remy at BearPaw Shilohs.
Periwinkle girl: She is as broad as the boys, has a beautiful head and good pigment. She is one of our pick girls. She is a dark sable
Black Boy: Such a sweetie, although a little smaller than the other boys, he will catch up. He has a beautiful head, and is going to be a very dark dual.
Burgandy girl: Our "little Foxy", this girl reminds us so much of her grandma. She is going to be a striking red-brown sable.
Cream girl: This girl looks as if she is going to have it all, just like her sire, Renegade. At 4 1/2 weeks, she has a perfect head, is overall well balanced and has that perfect saber tail. A black/red dual, she is a keeper!
Orange boy: He is our teddy bear, such a cuddler. He is also going to resemble his grandma Foxy in coloring, a red-brown sable.
Navy boy: He is a big beautiful boy, with that rare masky look to his face, a throw back from the small % of malamute blood found in the Shiloh.
Purple girl: Lil' Hope, the runt of the litter is still the smallest, about 1/2 the size of all the other babies. Although very healthy and quite spunky, we do not expect her to make full shiloh-size. She will be needing a very special home.
