Even though there are 3 other puppies in the play area, We know who we belong to and who our siblings are.  We dearly love to stick together except of course when we are playing and exploring; then it's every pup for himself and watch out for the wolf in us!  Ha Ha just kidding!



 A sweet circle of pups.  We can't get any cosier!  One of our bunch is missing.... where could he be?

Aha!

We are 4 weeks old already and full of mischief.  Mommy has lots of fun watching us play.  We are trying to decide who is the boss, by wrestling, also our teeth are coming in. Sometimes when we bite each other it hurts.  That is how we learn to be gentle.

CHOW TIME
Mommy's food is starting to taste good!

This puppy was born BLUE.  Since he is a sable pattern-that means he would have only tips of black on some hair-he has blue grey tips instead of black and  grey nose and eye rims.  His eyes are a lighter color looking blue for the moment, but could change to light brown later.  Born Blue is not a mutation or a disease, but is caused by inheriting a recessive color gene from both parents the way humans inherit blue eyes.  These recessives have been present for centuries, but only show up if there is a chance meeting of two d(dilute)genes.  This does not mean that this puppy will have any health issues.  He is strong and well formed and maturing nicely.  His name is Joyaseda's Cobalt.  Watch for him in the show ring later this year.  The dilute gene affects the eumelanin expression and also the phaeomelanin.,  therefore the reddish coat he is sporting will be a darker red in any of his non dilute offspring.

All 7 of us in a great cosy pile.

Just three weeks old and already exploring and making his voice heard.  Great things are expected from this little "Blue" havanese.
