What a bunch of cuties awwww
ah so cute youll have great time watching your pups day by day so facinating ..mine had 6 pups last year and couldnt stop watching the changes. what kind o pups are they
awwww they are gorgeous !!!:)
Have to totally agree with Yummy Mummy but could be slightly biased considering we are Archie's owners. Both Sasha and Archie are beautiful black labs so the 'bairns' should be adorable.
What a lovely pickle of puppies............well done mama :)
One female, she is certainly outnumbered here! Should prove to be a lot of fun choosing names for this boodle. :)
Yes, we couldn't have managed without Archie - he is a star!:)
AWwww they are all so adorable.
I just want a wee cuddle please.
Good question - everyone is bound to ask, so thanks!
OK, here's why Sasha has 2 yellow labs, despite Archie (Dad) and her being black labradors:
There are two sets of genes that control lab coats:
(1) Colours are either black or brown (black is dominant over brown);
(2) A second gene sets colour or no colour. [Yellow coats are not strictly a colour rather they are an absence of colour (i.e. the no colour gene)].
So, parents can be black but carry the (silent) "no colour gene". If both parents that mate carry the "no colour" gene on average 25% of the pups will be gold. They are still full pedigrees!
Sasha had 8 puppies in total, 3 were sadly stillborn, so 25% of 8 = 2 puppies. 2 out of the entire litter were yellow. Bingo!!!
Aaaawww bless! They are gorgeous.:D
They are absolutley lovely, i just wanna take them all home and cuddle them! shame had three still born but nice to know the other 5 are nice and healthy and mum is doing well, i bet the wee girl is going to love having 4 brothers to play with :)
xx
Thanks for that YM! Fascinating stuff.:)
awwww bless they are adorable....would love a cuddle and smell that puppy smell....you're going to have your hands full when they get on the move.....
Awww they are lovely. Bet you can't wait for them to be up and running around. :D
I loved having puppies running around the house (apart from the cleaning up after them) Its so much fun just watching them run around and learn. I also loved watching their mum sit proudly making sure they were all ok.
I am going to be really picky here... :lol: You don't get Gold Labradors, they are yellow, to avoid confusion between Yellow Labradors and Golden Retrievers.
Two blacks can produce yellow if they carry the hidden colour, a chocolate can produce yellow, but yellows can only produce yellows. Jinx's pups are all black, mum is black carrying yellow, dad is chocolate carrying chocolate, therefore some of the pups will carry yellow and chocolate although black is still the dominat colour... confusing eh??? :confused
Pop over to www.alsweyn.co.uk to see pictures of Jinx's pups born in January.
Cute.......
I know, I know - technically yellow, but got in my head they are our little golden boys, haven't I???? Can't help myself referring to them as gold.
Your dogs and pups are absolutely adorable.
The puppies are all thriving - wee tubbies, piling on the weight. Any day now they should open their eyes - then the fun will really begin!
Thanks to all for the comments and messages:) We are thrilled with them and so proud of Sasha!
