Want to know the hardest part of this litter will be? Highest propensity will be dark sables like my Edelwiess. I know when a female dark sable is born in my hand I will cry. And will reflexively think Edelweiss came back to me. But I know that isn’t true. God bless the volhards as the dog with the right scores win. I talk to many owners who have lost their dogs recently and I tell them. I will never replace your dog. Easy for me to say and that is true, but will I do when one is born into mine? Will I hope for my Edelweiss to return which isn’t true. but sometime the heart and the brain think different things. I talked to Diana Bunch and will let the volhard scores decide and I don’t know if it will be a blessing or a curse. If a dark sable is chosen. It still won’t be my beauitful Edelweiss and would give anything if it was, but that won’t ever be. I, always, said I would love a solid black but she will be born in my hands. All that said? I will the volhard decide and no matter whcih dog is chosen that dog is unique and I won’t project one dog to another, that would be unfair to both me and the dog. And every dog is special but disclosing the reflexive reaction so I can remember don’t let my bias, be to my detriment nor to the dog I keep.
