Zotzot and Piksu had their puppies

Zotzot gave birth to six little Pyr shep puppies late at saturday night. Some series of colours we have: there is a black boy, a fawn merle girl and a fawn merle boy plus three merle (bluemerle) girls. They all are doing great and all you can hear from the litter box is a satisfied sniffle when they are at the milk bar.

Genetics is sometimes so funny! Statisticly there is a change of 50% for a puppy from a merle parent to inherit the merle gene. Well, in Zotzot's first litter only one puppy out of six had it. Now we are back in the stats, because five out of six inherited it this time. :) Unfortunately fawn merle is a disqualifying colour in conformation shows so these two pups are looking for otherwise actice homes.

The whole bunch at the age of less than one day.
