Ebony and Harley Litter

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   I am going to be a New Yorker and live with Elizabeth Gabel.   I wonder if she will let me call her Liz, or maybe Mommy!!  Can you believe she origianlly thought she wanted a Red Wire Femaler?  Boy am I glad she changed her mind.  I will have to make sure she never regrets her decision.  I am NOT available.

I think I hear something.                                                                    Wow, see how perfect I am shaped??                                                                                                           Wait a minute, it is over this way.

Black and Tan Female:   We have decided this little girl will be sold as black and tan.  Her points are quite light and it would be balanced if she were black and cream, since there are two black and tans and onee black and cream besides her.  She is not a light as her cream brother (above) but lighter than her two brothers below.  To be safe and on the fair side we are selling her as black and tan which means she is $1200 instead of $1600. 

I am black and tan, I didn't know that!  That means I am a real bargain.  Steve and Rebecca are deciding on me but they are leaning towards Chipper's little smooth puppy.  They will make their final decision this week end.  That means I may be AVAILABLE!!  If you are interested call Skip and inquire. 

Shhhh I think I hear something.                       Hmm better sniff around.                                                 Wait, there it is.    See how creamy my points are?  

Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's pick.  I was too fast this week too and Skip could not get a clear picture of me.  I met Wanda and Paul and they are really nice.  I think I will like living with them.  I AM NOT AVAILABLE.

I think I will just pull this string and see what happens.                                     Why is he sticking his tongue out?                                                                       Maybe I will just push this with my nose.                

Black and Tan Male:  What a great little boy I am!!   I am small and absolutely wonderful.  I  AM AVAILABLE!! 

Sighhhh  I need a good home.  I am forlorn.                    Ahhh a string to chew on, that's better.                     "Destroy the string", that's what I say!!

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   I am going to be a New Yorker and live with Elizabeth Gabel.   He is NOT available.

Black and Cream Female:  Steve and Rebecca are deciding on me.  I am such a good girl and so pretty (blush) how could they not pick me?  Well, latest update, they are leaning towards Chipper's little smooth puppy.  That means I may be AVAILABLE!!  I am an extraordinary little girl.  Someone will be lucky to have me.  If you are interested call Skip and inquire.  He will ask Steve and Rebecca to make a final decision.

Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's pick.  I was too fast this week and Skip could only get one picture of me.

Black and Tan Male:  What a great little boy I am!!   I  AM AVAILABLE!! 

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   I am my daddy's son and proud of it.   I will be going to live with Elizabeth Gabel.  This little boy is her final pick.  He is NOT available.  to get a puppy of this caliber you need to make a "pick" reservation from an upcoming litter (see planned litters).

Black and Cream Female:  Steve and Rebecca are deciding on me.  I am such a good girl and so pretty (blush) how could they not pick me?  Well, latest update, they are leaning towards Chipper's little smooth puppy.  That means I am be AVAILABLE!!

Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's likely pick

Black and Tan Male:  Skip's son reserved me but can not have a dog where he lives now, so I  AMVAILABLE!! 

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   Bright Cream points and looking cuter by the day.  I told you I wasn't as serious as I looked.  Surprise pick by Elizabeth Gabel.  This little boy is her final pick.  He is NOT available.

Black and Cream Female:  Steve and Rebecca decided I just may be what they are looking for.  Steve THOGHT he wanted a smooth puppy but he loves Star Baby so much he is considering ME, a long hair.  Of course I am a black beauty and very very well behaved, not like that rascally little smooth girl of Chipper's.  

Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's likely pick

Black and Tan Male:  Chris and Kris' likely pick.

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   Bright Cream points and looking cuter by the day.  I told you I wasn't as serious as I looked.  This is why we breed Dachshunds!  This little guy is incredible.   I AM AVAILABLE!!

Black and Cream Female:  Wait until I lose this black puppy hair and I will show you some cream points.  Last month they were fighting over my 1/2 sister and now here I am AVAILABLE and I look just like her.

Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's likely pick

Black and Tan Male:  Chris and Kris' likely pick.

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.   Look at my points!!  (I am not as serious as I look)  :-)  It is funny how serious he looks.  It is his coloring.  This will go away as he gets older and his nose gets longer. 

Black and Cream Female:  My points are starting to show more but it will be a few weeks before my black hair comes out and the points show brightly.

    Black and Tan Male:    Wanda and Paul's likely pick

.      

Black and Tan Male:  Chris and Kris' likely pick.

Black and Cream Male:  Wow.  What can I say.  Look at my bright points, just like dad.  I hope I look just like him because he is really cool.

Black and Cream Female:  My points are not as developed as my brother but they will come out over time.  I am going to look like mom and have dad's coloring.  I am colored a lot like my aunt Gala,

my points are covered with a lot of black puppy hair.  That hair will come out and the cream will come out as I grow.  The undercoat hair I have is all cream.

Black and Tan Male:  I am slightly larger than my brother.  Tougher, smarter and better looking too, that is if you ask me!

Black and Tan Male:  That's right MALE, las week Skip had me listed as a girl.  How insulting!!  I am slightly smaller  than my brother but I am definitely all boy.  As for tougher, smarter and better looking  who asked YOU?

Everyone can see I am the best!!!  There is a chance I am black and cream, only time will tell.

Black and Cream Male:  I am almost certainly black and cream.  My points are very light.  Don't let the litte red around my nose fool you.  This is more the skin color.  I am cream.

I am going to look just like dad and it doesn't get any better than that!!!

Black and Cream Female:  I am almost certainly black and cream.  My points are very light but not as defined as my brother.  If my points appear dark it is just the amount of black hair and the flash.  I am cream.

Notice the difference in the background pictures above.  The one on the right is the most accurate.  The left and the two below have a lot of camera red added.

The pictures below help you to see the difference in those above.  These two are clearly black and tan.  They "carry for cream" meaning they have one Chinchilla gene for cream.

Black and Tan boy:  Now I AM tan and proud of it.  I will look like my mom Ebony, except ruggedly handsome like my dad.

Black and Tan Male:  Whoo hoo I am going to look like my mommie, Ebony too.  I am not quite as big as my brother but I will be just as fierce in puppy battle.

Ebony has 17 Champions in her 5 generation pedigree and Harley boasts International Champion Brandach's Mr. Goodbar,  Canadian Champion Billie of Brandach along with several other Rose Farms and Stoneleigh Champions for a total of 17 champions in his 5 generation pedigree.  Harley will be a champion in his own time.  In all the litter boasts a 34 Champion 6 generation Litter  PEDIGREE 

Note the slight difference in color of the points (light colored areas) of the two dogs.  Ebony is Black and Tan carrying for cream, Harley is Black and Cream.   Harley can only produce English Creams and Black and Creams.  Ebony can produce English Creams and Black and Creams but she can also produce Black and Tans.  When bred to Harley, her black and tans will carry for English Cream because of the gene they get from dad.

Shown here as 11 and 12 week puppies to give you an idea what your puppy might look like about the age you bring it home.      You can learn more about either parent on their own page and also see them in action in the slide flash show.             

Ebony has grown into a real beauty.  She is black and tan carrying for English Cream.  Harely is an incredible Black and Cream.  For those of you who do not know, a black and cram is 100% English Cream.  The English Cream gene is the Chinchilla gene.  To be  English Cream, a dog must have two Chinchilla genes.  A dog who would otherwise have been red (BooBoo) comes out cream, a dog who would otherwise have been black and tan (Harley) comes out black and cream.  The Chinchilla gene has no effect on black.  So Harley is 100% English Cream and Ebony is 50%.  The puppies they produce either get 2 Chinchilla genes (one from each parent) or one from Ruffy and a "no chinchilla" gene from Ebony.  Half of the puppies will be 100% English Black and Cream (like dad)  and half will be Black and Tan carrying for English cream (50% like mom) there is no such thing as a dog which is 75% anything.  These puppies will be EXTRAORDINARY.  We expect some show quality English Black and Creams.  This will be a "pricey" litter but worth it if you are looking for a high quality English Black and Cream puppy.  The black and tan puppies will sell for less but will have the same pedigree and will also be show quality.

You hear a lot about temperament but until you EXPERIENCE the differences you can not appreciate them.  Harleyis the original "mellow fellow".  He is sweet and never fights with others.  Even as a little tyke, NOTHING fazed him.  If the other puppies growled at him he simply ignored them.  He was not intimidated; it was as though it was beneath him to bother to reply.  You could hold him in your lap and pet him or watch TV and he would stay still.  Yet he can play fetch with the best of them. 

Ebony is moderate temperament, not as wild as her mother nor calm as her father.  She is a beautiful blend of both.  She is a wonderful dog and  her litter will be loving, active, independent and yet controllable.  She is loving and she shows it.

There are no guarantees and individual puppies can vary greatly but we expect their puppies to be a mix of ACTIVE and MATURE.  By MATURE I mean they will hold still to let children pet them and behave well very early.  Many puppies are so active and silly they can not be much company for a year or longer.  Active puppies are good for young children because they wear each other out but are harder to deal with for the first year.  Even mature puppies have abundant energy and can play and fetch, etc. it is just that they will calm down and hold still.  Active puppies are almost always in motion.   With BooBoo being active and Harley being mellow we expect to get some of each.  These two dogs also compliment each other physically.  

We try very hard to give each owner a realistic expectation of the puppy they adopt.  We do not have any mean or ill tempered dogs.  We will not tolerate a trouble maker and certainly will not include it in our breeding program, no matter what the pedigree.  Some bad or aggressive behavior is learned and some inherited, we try to start you with the best temperament possible to give you that head start.
