Love Is In The Air!



Well, it's that time of year again! I'm repeating the breeding last year that produced the first Sharp Snow - Colombia (female) x Bogata (male) - both are DH Sharp Snow's. Hopefully I will have similar lucky results! Colombia rebounded extremely well (15 pounds empty weight, 7 ft), after her pregnancy. Bogata was eager to say the least - as soon as I put him in with her he got down to business :). They've been going at it for a week nonstop - love is in the air! I quickly snapped a few pictures as I didn't want to disturb them too much - I don't think they even noticed...
I will not be breeding my other female, Cartagena, this year as she is still recovering from her litter born in July. Colombia will be taking next year off as I will have no reason to breed her, and she certainly deserves a break!
Well, my fingers and toes are crossed, and I will of course post updates as Colombia progresses.

A Sharp Snow Comparison


My second Sharp Snow finally shed a few days ago, almost 2 months after she was born on July 8th. I noticed that she (affectionately named Snow White by my beautiful wife) does not have any yellow coming in. Her entire body is white, while her markings are an off white. She even has a white tongue instead of pink like the first Sharp Snow. Her tail color also is a light pink compared to the lavender color of the first Sharp Snow.
When the first Sharp Snow shed for the first time at almost 2 months old, he already had some yellow coming in (he's now 5 months old). She's definitely different, and hopefully Snow White will stay white - Yellow Snow White just doesn't have the same ring to it, lol. Only time will tell, and I'll be sure to post updates as she gets older.
Above is a picture of both of them together along with another baby from the July 8th litter - the normal from my July 29th Blog entry. You can find more pictures of her here.
