Yayyyy I got my photos of the litter our puppy is coming from this morning! (Congratulation s to Rufus and Grettle) One of these little pun'kin seeds is OURS! Now the wait until April 15! It has been since July 20th and I don't know how much longer I can hold on.  ;DÂ

Awwww. Look at the little one that just wants to snuggle with mommy.
I'm curious, is that the color they will stay? Or is that just how they all turn out and then change over time?

They are supposed to lighten up as they grow. I am assuming there are some brindle ones in there, but I can't really tell. But we are in line for a fawn male so I guess some of those puppys will really lighten up. The photos I received will be the only ones we get so it will be a surprise when we get to pick him up.
I know, I love how the one pup is up there all by himself getting "mommy time".

Congrats Jacquie!!! I can't wait to see the pups.
As for the color, Tina I think that they are fairly similar colors at birth and the fawns darken and the brindle pattern develops. The breeders can usually tell which pups will be which but not always. Actually they thought one of Stans litter mates was a brindle but turned out to be a darker fawn.

I am in love with the one who is all snuggly with mom. That is just TOO SWEET!

The worst part is that we can pick one up on Monday but with a 600 mile drive (one way), we will have to wait to leave until Friday after work! That week will drag FOREVER I just know it!

:D Oh so cute!!! That is so exciting!! But since you have to wait you might as well get some good sleep and enjoy the relative peace and quiet because once baby comes life will be very hectic!!
Is your puppy from Flying W? May I ask how long you were on waiting list for? Still working on hubby!!
I hope your wait flies by!!

Yes that is where we were on the list. I sent the original email on July 20 for a fawn male. The wait is longer for them I believe. I think FW was the closest breeder to us being in AL. However, all AM breeders (there are 12 total) have gotten their dogs from Flying W and from the posts I have read on the AM Yahoo group all breeders produce high quality dogs and seem to be warm, caring people. Some "parents" put their names in at more than one breeder to get the quickest puppy! ;) I wouldn't have a second thought about getting a pup from any of the breeders.
Good luck with the hubby! I hope you can get him to look at the photos and letters, etc on the breeders websites. They really speak for themselves.

Fedricka at Flying W is very busy and is not likely to send more then the initial photo's, but you will see why when you get there. It is a very big farm. However they are really nice people and they were great with me and they still are.
My am from there Goliath is 15 months, 34 1/2 inches at the shoulder, 170 lbs and the biggest lover in the world .... we are completly satisfied!

Oh, how adorable. How many are in the litter? I think I can count 8, but I'm not sure.
Since you won't be getting any more pics, and won't see the pups in person until you pick yours up, I hope they are good at matching the dog to the person it is going to.
Can't wait to see the pics of when you finally get to pick him up. You'll have to take lots to make up for lost time. ;)

I would love to see more Goliath photos! He is a very handsome boy! Fredericka isn't quick with email responses but when I called I got her right away and she was a pleasure to speak with. :)

There are nine in the litter, 7 females and 2 males. We "reserved" a fawn male. It is first come, first serve...so she contacted 7 individuals that wanted fawn females and 2 that wanted the fawn males. We will have to drive just over 600 miles one way to get him and you can start picking up on a Monday and we won't be able to go until Friday or Saturday so I imagine there will only be the one male left. I am not worried...had there only been one male in the litter there would have been no choosing anyway! They are all great dogs! :)
-
they are sweet. Will they stay that dark color or will they look like mama? Which one is yours?

I miss the smell of puppy breath!
