Litter Evaluation Report: We were extremely pleased with the results of the litter evaluation on the Renegade/Grace pups. This litter of pups is very people oriented, and will bond tightly with their families. They will want to be where their humans are, much like their mom, dad, and grandma. They are all very loving, cuddly pups that will train easily. Born premature, they are slightly smaller than normal Shiloh pups of this age, but will catch up. Hearts and bites are good, and all the boys have both testicles.
We succeeded in doing what we set out to do with this litter. We were hoping to produce pups with awesome heads: well defined stops, short broad muzzles, small ears, and most important, underjaw. Everyone of these pups has beautiful underjaw! We were also looking for broad chests, good stifle and wither, which presented itself in at least 3/4 of the pups. Lastly, we are sticklers for proper tails and tail set and all of the pups, with the exception of one with a slight kink, have beautiful saber tails, that will carry properly.
Unfortunately, we also saw a lack of pigment in some of the pups, even to the point of one boy sporting the mask from his Malamute heritage. We found it interesting that the duals all have awesome pigment with rich black muzzles but the sables vary from salt and pepper, to slightly faded, to full mask. Overall, an exceptional litter in temperament, health and conformation.
