The puppies were born!

It's taken me a moment to get around to posting.... but the puppies were born on the 9th. The breeder contacted us and I was so excited that she allowed me to come over on the 17th to see them. 3 boys and 1 girl. The mom is a sesame and dad is a red so the puppies are (or probably will be) both. The girl and littlest boy are looking pretty red right now and the other 2 boys are dark with alot of black right now. The breeder may keep the girl so looks like we are getting a little boy. We're so excited. Jacey (breeder) doesn't mind us coming over to just hang out so we just sat around with the puppies for hours. I'm super kicking myself for forgetting my camera in all the excitement, but I'll go back next week and be sure to get pics!

Now the 8 week countdown begins........

    newborn puppies...check.
    Friendly breeder who welcomes you in to chat for hours anytime....check
    camera to take pictures of puppies...EPIC FAIL :) j/k. Congratulations and your interaction with them at such a young age should go a long ways in introducing your puppy to yourself and humans in general.

    I look forward to the picture SPAM! :). I'm curious to see pictures of the sire and dam especially since the dam is sesame if your breeder will allow it. There's just not enough pictures of sesame shiba around:) (No offense meant Casey!).

    Congrats!!! And definitely fail on the no camera! :-P

    Jesse - just you wait... As soon as the sun comes out, I will bombard you with photos of my little Nola... and of course with some Bella thrown in there for good measure! But,there are never enough pictures of any of the pups to suit me... so I understand. :-D

    here is the link to the breeders web site pic of the dam. She is listed as a 'red sesame', but I dont know if there is a difference between 'red sesame' and just 'sesame'. She is still very young in the pic because the site hasn't been updated in some time.They are an older couple (not to computer savy) and they said their webmaster moved to a different country I believe.

    Puppies out of a sesame and a red breeding will most likely be genetic sesame's meaning the dog or bitch can throw either color if bred, but may in fact be totally red in color itself. Sesame and red sesame are the same thing. Sometimes people that own what is known as a "dirty red" or "a red with a black overlay" think they have a sesame colored dog, but in reality it is a genetic sesame and doesn't obtain the proper coloring that a sesame requires (for the show ring....that is). Some people still show these dogs because in the summer when the coat is not its fullest the black tipping is less noticeable.

    Asia in below picture is a dirty red...and a genetic sesame.

    Maybe this is a better picture. She is fat in these pictures because she was expecting puppies!...and her black tipping is not as dark because the pictures were taken in the summer.

    UGH!!!! Torture!!! Get Asia off this website!!!!

    It still makes me sad to know I can't bring her home. Can I have her owner's address so I could go shiba swiping? :P She's so beautiful and looks like a sweetheart.

    CONGRATS!!! can't WAIT for the puppy spam! I'm sure these next 8 weeks will seem like forever! But in no time you will have you cute ball of fluff!

    Glad you figured out how to post that pic. You'll need to be a PRO at posting pics soon! :D

    So since i cant spam with my pup, I'll spam with a friends. Her pup Zorrita is from the same breeder but born last year. Zorrita shares the father of my pup and her mother is a sibling of my pup's mom. The mothers grandfather carried the B&T gene so some of their pups seem to develope into sesames. The 1st pic is Zorrita still very young, and we were sure she would end up red. Then, suprisingly, she started turning darker! the other 2 pics are her now. Lyn (friend is hoping she'll stay sesame. She's so pretty!

    on a side note.... I'm going to try to get Lyn on this forum too. She's definately proud of her baby and would love to see other shibas. She has been a shiba lover for a long time, but waited until she retired for her first.

    You know, I am so happy that I joined this forum! My mom's Shiba looks EXACTLY like the genetic sesame in the picture, as far as coloring. We have always wondered why she looks kind of like a red but has a little bit of black on her too. I'm going to tell my mom!!

    andreamg4, if you load your pics to a site like photobucket then it makes things MUCH easier! Just a thought.

    ok, will do next time. I'm also told I can host pics through my picasa web albums so I might try that too. I'm currently at work so I dont have as much access to sites as I would at home. Security walls/blocks on a lot of pages from here.
