Captain's a Daddy, a little bit late on this One

So on April 4th Captain's first litter hit the world. (He did have one other breeding but ended in only one puppy and didn't make it through the birthing process). He had a total of 7 Puppies. 2 girls, one black and white and white (Denise named Star) and one blue (mismarked). 5 boys, two black and white, 3 blues.The smallest puppy Black boy #2 didn't make it past day 5 or 6. Update I got last weekend are that things are going great and I hope to get backup to see them again soon and of course more puppies.Captain was breed with CH Aldershon Truant. This litter did produce half mismarks. It is being speculated that with both parents having Carbon as a grandparent that this might be the case to cause mismarks. I do not know this to be a fact and as this is my first time breeding would love to know what causes mismarks or is it the luck of the draw. All of Captains health clearances have come back great and negative for everyting so hopefully with a different bitch it could be a whole different story. The Puppies are with Sharon Curry in Sebastopol so not too far away. I took a stud fee only but have offered to help in any way up to and including to show or take if need be. So enjoy the pics and I hope to have more news soon.

  1. I'm going for "luck of the draw". Looking at our litters, you just never can tell about the mismarks. Kind of like the boy/girl ratio.

  2. Minnie's litter has no mismarks which I was surprised by with her being a mismark.

  3. I'm actually not surprised with either Captains having several OR Minnie not having many - looking at the other parent and if there is excess white on that side....has to be there on both...
