They are so adorable!  I just love their faces (and their huge paws, and their fuzzy ears, and, and, and...  :) )!  What cuties they are.  I'm sure their new homes will be wonderful!  :)

Thanks everyone for your kind words. They do look sweet, but don't forget to look in the eyes. LOL. Looks can be deceiving.
I will only send them to new homes if I completely trust the new owners, otherwise they stay here.... Hmmm, that's a thought. LOL
It is easier to take care of them myself than to worry about them.

Aaacckkk!!  Don't show me puppy pics.  I want one sooooo bad.

I like the one in the third pic.  He/she's a darling.

But you're right about the eyes.  My parent's last dog was a real challenge, and you could tell just by looking at her (that was what my mom said.......... look at her eyes, you can see her intelligence).  Of course she's nothing like yours, but being an aussie/collie (border?)/shepherd mix, she could be a bit too big for her britches.

Yelena,
Those are some gorgeous puppies!  :)  You can see the thoughts going on in their eyes.  I'm with Babs, I really love those brindles.  Are the bottom two the same puppy as the one in the background on the right in the top picture?  She(?) has a very soft expression compared to the others, so sweet!

They must go through some amazing color changes from birth to adulthood.  Do you have any pictures that show their transformation? 

I've been taken with Caucasians and Sarplannitz(sp?) since I met some a couple years back.  Their temperment reminded me of a giant aussie, but more laid back energywise and a bit more independant.  I'd definitely consider getting one if we ever got our own property.

I hope that their new homes work out smoothly and that you get lots of updates on them!  :D

OMG.How adorable.

Just a question.Do you have contracts made up for the new owners?What I mean is a spay/neuter contract....A contract stating that if for any reason they can't keep the pup,it's to be returned back to you?Have the new owners researched this breed?What health and genetic issues that this breed has?

This is something to definately think of if you haven't already. :)

I have one of her pups and she has a billion page contract LOL...Ok maybe a billion is exaggerating a bit but she covers just about everything

Yes, I do.
Perspective owners, if I don't know them personally, fill out a looong application, I do check all kind of references, and a contract is "a must".

As for genetic problems - it is a remarkably healthy breed, but just like any large dogs - HD could be a problem, sertain type of heart disorders and entropia.

New owners defenately doing a little bit of research on the breed (otherwise they wouldn't even know that dogs like that exist), they all ask a lot of questions (and if they don't - they don't get to have a pup) before and after they got a puppy.

LOL. It is not the ideal process, but we trying to improve it every time we go through.

They all born very dark, almost black (except for white ones and piebolds). And you never know what color they will turn out to be as an adult. Sometimes it changes even between 2 and 3 years old.
I will try to find some pictures to illustrate. LOL

Please do.  I would love to see more puppy and/or adult pics.  I simply can't get enough of this breed.  I sooo want to get one, but will have to wait probably at least another 10 yrs.   :'(  :'(  :'(
