Puppy

[Catia]

Hah!
(If you're not joking--I seriously want to know how you did that)

Tessa waits & watches me shop-vac then regular vac all of the floors, then she goes to her toy box, pulls the wood & "puts everything back'...

So your boy has little multi colored toes, that's so cute--My cat's have that, I call the pink ones 'magic toes', just letting you know they have 'special powers'.

I'm curious about the 'eyebrows'--how come some are round & some are more pointed like a husky or malamute?--is that just how they turn out, or is it a trait that's bred in?
I've seen both on TM's & some that have none.

I run the dust mop over the floor a lot. I also have a towel or blanket at the back door to collect most of the crud they track in. So, yeah. I guess the secret to a clean floor is to clean the floor a lot.

D'Argo has odd coloring. He kind of looks like a malamute puppy with floppy ears. His tan is really light and he has white in weird places. He has a little patch between his shoulders and the tip of his tail is white. I think those are disqualifying markings in shows. Yes, the eyebrows come in different shapes.

I guess what I am wondering is are they able to selectively breed for the eyebrow shape-or how prominent they are-meaning the pointy ones or the round ones--or is it anyone's guess how they come out?
Some dogs look to have a little mask-& I think that can be bred for.

I am pretty sure some of it can be bred for, like points-I just am wondering if the variations of the types of points can be selected.


The more pointy ones do resemble malamute or look very Asian, but I've seen plenty of malamutes & huskys with round ones, or the more full mask.

I think his markings are really cute--his toes are super!

Just wondering for curiosity's sake--I looked it up & read about piebald gene due to my cat, just wondering how some stuff works with dogs.

Some lines do seem to produce certain shapes of mask and eyebrows so I assume you could if you wanted to.

I don't know about the shoulder mark but I know TMs with white tailed tips that won shows. Once there grown its hard to see the white tip really.

Apollo's tail had a white tip when he was a puppy, at some point those hairs shed out and he has no white on his tail any more.

The shoulder patch is a bit odder, but as I think I said in another thread (or maybe it was an email lol), it may not even show when he's an adult, only time will tell!

I think his little eye brow being pointy give him a VERY Asian look.

Yes, I may be a weirdo, but to me, he looks like a baby version of an old Tibetan monk--I think he's an old soul , reincarnated Sage...







Or if you want to go in the other direction--meaning super natural
He's got the cutest almost wizard-like face. You could put one of those cone shaped hats with moon & stars on his head & give him a wand or staff--with his magic pink toes--I'm tellin you--he's got powers!









Somewhere in my reading on TMs-- I read that the eye brow point things are referred to as 'double eyes' but there is an ancient name attached to that term that has some type of deeper meaning-can't find that site--there is a name for them-wish I could find it now!

Oh, & I think the two of then should have a pagoda shaped doggie house...
Ok, I'll go finish my coffee & meds now.
