Fusilli's "Primrose" Von Onyx is certainly never afraid of the camera.
Fusilli's "Preston" Von Onyx is such a serious pup. He likes his sleep and his after dinner alone time! Lol
Pebbles X Onyx puppies at Schwarz Kennels! Look at these beautiful cuties!!
Almost 5 week old Admiral and General from the Lucy X Stan Lee litter and almost 5 week old Korben from the Leloo X Stan Lee litter meet chickens for the first time. Lol
Admiral is very interested and we will meet them closer up tomorrow!
While these guys are eating, I thought I would share with you the coat and coloring layer (ticking, undercoats, double coats of each pup. The first two pups you see are the Leloo X Stan Lee pups and the last two are the Lucy X Stan Lee boys. The third pup Admiral is available for adoption as well https://kingsleykennels.com/dogs/1726/.
What you will see drematically on the first pup (this is Laguna) is a LOT of guard hair ticking (the black tips of each hair follicle). On this girl, she doesn't only have it on her shoulders, but also down her back like a mane all the way down the center of her body to her butt.
Her coat is much like her mothers sister Lucy. It has more guard hairs and less undercoat/double coat than the others. She will have two sheds each year, but they will not be as drematic of a coat loss during these sheds as her brother and cousins. She will however look thinner when she sheds becsuse all of her undercoat will shed more dramatically than her siblings.
Moving on, you see her brother Korben. He does not have the massive ticking on his gaurd hairs and is more a dark reverse coat color. His under coat is more plush and when shedding, he will lose his undercoat, but still look fuller in his coat, as his undercoat is thicker than his sister and plush vs coarse.
Both Lucy X Stan Lee pups are very similar to Korben. They guard hairs are dark, but on silver hairs on the shoulders and rear haunches. The undercoast are soft and plush, but their individual hairs are more coarse. This will lead to what we believe the Dire Wolf mane might have looked like. Longer across its neck and back leading to long gaurd hairs down its back but shorter on the sides. Similar to a lions neck only not as dramatic.
These boys will lighten up in their cream undertones, but their silver will get darker over time to enhance the underlying cream as happend to their half sibling Ethereum. As a puppy, Ethereum https://kingsleykennels.com/dogs/1669/ was cream, but today, she

I think I've been tricked!! Leloo X Ironheart Blue puppy... he looked so sad and so "off" (minus the wagging tail) out in the kennels I was worried he might not be feeling well... and this is what we get!!
