Watari our pick from YufuXSassy’s first litter has now become a mother herself. We waited a while trying decide who to pair her with and chose Ame our brindle male Pomeranian. She has done absolutely fabulous and the pups are now officially a week old. We have yet to decide on a litter name so that is still pending. The two ‘black’ ones are female. I marked black due to the fact that we suspect one of the girls is actually agouti or seal. She has a brown sheen to her coat and lighter hairs around the tail, belly and armpits. A true black would not have those differences. The male is most likely agouti as well. We only know this because the sire has the agouti gene and in his previous litters he has produced what looks like a solid pup that gains a bit of color as it ages but still remains mostly pigmented with the base color, and the only option for that result was an agouti. Now the agouti gene is one we don’t know very well in regards to how it expresses itself in combination with other genes. The Agouti’s Ame has produced in the past also had one copy of recessive black. Watari doesn’t carry recessive black, she is either clear sable underneath the dominant black or she is sable carrying tan point. In the past it took a while before these false solids that Ame has produced to gain color. His last pup Bubbles was nearly 12 weeks old before we noticed her legs, rear end, and other small places had lightened and lo and behold she was also brindle lol. Prior to that she appeared to be solid dilute ‘aka’ blue. It will be interesting to see if the female Watari has had lightens as well. puppy
