March 2, 2009. Our gorgeous girl, Lavandels Kyssa, had her first litter. She was a trooper and delivered five big puppies all on her own. She's a wonderful mom (but that's pretty much the way these Icelandics are!) and she's very pleased with herself and her babies. All of the puppies have good double dew claws on both hind legs with single dews on front legs. The sire of the litter is Hofshesta Gloi. To see a pedigree for the litter, click here. At this time, all of the puppies are reserved.
The first puppy, a male, is shown above. He weighed 12.4 oz. This puppy has traditional blaze and color with black ears and mask.He will look much like Kyssa as an adult.
Puppy #2 is a male and he weighed a whopping 14.5 oz. He has brown ears and markings and will probably be cream like his sire.This puppy's coloring surprised me because I did not know that Kyssa carried the gene for brown. Now we know she does.
Puppy #3 is a female who weighed 11.5 oz. She is also a genetically brown puppy (but she's darker than the other two that have brown ears and markings) in coloring with white underbelly and white socks.
Puppy #4 is a male who will be the traditonal red, with black mask and white collar. He will look the most like Kyssa as an adult (she is just missing the white collar that he has).
Puppy #5 is a female and she also has brown ears and markings and will most likely be cream in coloring like her brother and her sire. The photos of the girls here are brighter than the pups really are.
In the photo above, the pups are from left to right #1, #2, #3, #5 and #4.
At left, the puppies are shown at 2 days old.
Here are the puppies at 4 days of age.
