    Another anticipated litter, this bunch of 11 squeeking pinkies was welcomed into the world on the 9th of August, 2006, just before our big move!  There are 6 gorgeous girls and 5 bouncing baby boys in a real rainbow of colors and markings. 

    This is my 1st litter that had ROANS!  Five of the kiddos show obvious signs of the roan gene - bright white blazes - and several others have headspots or -seem- to have some fading along their sides, so it's possible that we'll see a few more once they get older and it's more obvious.  Even those who don't show roan will be strong roan carriers. 

Personality-wise they are a mix too, with some being active and curious and others being lazy little cuddlers!  All well handled, healthy and sweet as can be!
