Happy Birthday LOA!!! It's so crazy how dark her face was when she was a pup and how light she is now! She is absolutely beautiful!!! One of these days Brad...im stealing her!!! Give my love to little miss loa!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOA!!!! Now go procreate so I can steal you offspring! Loa was the last new pack member I met and I have to say she STOLE my heart. She is the sweetest and most precious creature ever! (dont tell Kaia!)
I have to keep coming back & looking at Loa's puppy picture. It's just too cute! She looks like a little femme wolf cub ! I particularly love the white blaze on her chest, so adorable.
Hey Brad, do you mind if I use her puppy picture as my desktop background [ at home ] I won't post it anywhere or anything, I'd just love to look at the ball of fluff every time I turn on my computer ~
lol - I a swooned by Loa's puppy pic every time I look at it... she was such a cute little bugger. She is still really cute, but she was just ridiculously cute as a pup.
But how can anyone not be Brad? Those adorable little puppy dog eyes, the tiny little puppy paws...<3!
Was she a lot darker as a pup? The first picture she looks really dark, but in the ones where she's a little older she's gotten lighter, & in recent pictures she looks darker again *confused* ~
She was super dark up to about 8 weeks then turned more red. After she lost her puppy coat she got darker and greyer and the white on her chest reduced. Now she is a fairly dark red sesame. It was not till about 8 months that she really started to develop her mask and "widow's peak".
Ahi was super dark as a pup too, but she stayed dark: Ahi pup pic
I wonder if it's a red-sesame shika thing? [ the colour changing ] Hmm.
Awww~! Ahi puppy Just...so...cute!
I have a really hard time picking favorite colours for all the Nihon Ken, I just love them all ! Red Sesame vs. Black Sesame on the Shikas...both are just so pretty!
"it was not till about 8 months that she really started to develop her mask and "widow's peak"
That was the way Kuma was as well. He was a lighter red sesame as a puppy, but started to get a lot more black hairs in his mask and neck area at about 8 months. Now just shy of a year, he also has some black in his coat on his ribcage. He actually has a widows peak and a diamond (above the widow peak) because of the color changes to his coat.
All puppies get lighter as they mature. Mika was pitch black at a puppy with just a white chest. By 4 months old, she was completely brindle. My dad was all 'what the heck are you doing to that dog? Pouring bleach on her??' LOL. People are the same way. Kurt's hair was so blond as child, it almost looked white!

Many more will come!
