Some puppies will have white spotting on their toes, tail tip, chest/belly, and possibly on the muzzle. Other puppies will not show any significant white spotting. Some puppies should show highly slanted, bright yellow eyes. Other puppies will have amber and brown eyes. All puppies should have medium to long double coat types without feathering. 50% of the puppies will have furnishings (longer catfish-like hairs on the side of the mouth). We expect ears to rise. Some tails will curl up when excited. Other puppies will have straighter tails. Some puppies will be giant in size, standing 30-31 inches tall at the shoulders and weighing 120 - 130 lbs as adults. Other puppies will be average in size, standing 27 - 29 inches tall at the shoulders and weighing 95 - 115 lbs as adults. Some puppies will be more confident than others. All puppies will be submissive and affectionate with their people. Some puppies may have more of a velcro type personality. All puppies should have a desire to remain at home and stay close without a desire to wander or roam. We will note any diviation from our unique family companion dog inherited temperament. Both parents have been DNA tested clear of over 172 genetically inherited canine diseases and have high immune diversity. The inbreeding coefficient for this litter is 11.5% on a five generation pedigree and six known COIs with 70% ancestor loss coefficient on a four generation pedigree. The puppies from this litter will be fifth generation (F5) American Dirus dogs.
