This weekend our ES puppy is coming to join our family! The kids are beyond excited (okay, I am too). As I (and my 1 and 3 yr old) do most of the farm chores...
Congratulations! If you said this and I just don't remember, who is the puppy, and who are getting it from, and is it a he or a she? You couldn't get a...
Congratulations! I can't remember if you mentioned...where is your pup coming from? Wait...you're in South Windsor? That's probably less than a half hour away ...
Jean- We are close! My sister lives in Portland, so I'm out that way quite a bit (our pediatrician is in Glastonbury, and with 6 kids, we're regulars, LOL)....
Congrats on your ES pup ... I am sure that you will have a wonderful time with the new addition to the family. Keep us up on antics. Carmen Statzer ...

Woohoo! Guess what, we're related! Er...or the dogs are. I think Addie is a second cousin to Chandler. I think he's going to get farm envy. :) Jean, Chandler,...
Congrats Kristen! I'm glad you found a pup closer to you (although Diddie says she is sorry she did not get chosen....lol) Addie is a very lucky gal to have a...
Yes, Susan and I have been trying to get together so I can see Duffy, but our schedules have not been meshing. Otherwise Chan and I would be camped outside...
Sorry, I forgot to ask earlier...do you know what Addie's litter name was? (Trying to pick her out in the pictures.) Jean, Chandler, & the cats On Tue, Apr 1,...
The people who were going to purchase Dotty have decided that the timing is wrong for them and have elected to wait for a future litter- so she is again...
Cathy, Addie is black and white. I have never seen a color as pretty as Diddie though- but distance did make a big part of the decision. What do you call...
In a message dated 4/3/08 8:09:22 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... ES folks call it "clear sable" but this is a misnomer/contradiction in terms when you consider...
Gem is a shaded sable and I'm interested in the way she changes color during shedding and regrowth. She's young so I've only seen this once so far, but last...
a lot of mine get blacker each time they shed because the black hairs are guard hairs and are not always shed. Elaine Suzanne Webber <brooksbendfarm@...>...
Hi Suzanne! I find the color changes in the sables fascinating too. How old is Gem? Mace has been pretty much the same color since the spring he was one and...
In a message dated 4/3/08 11:57:33 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... Yes! Changes can be dramatic, especially during adolescence. Also there may be different looks...
Cool explanation of why they get darker w/age. Thanks! Suzanne Elaine Reynolds <horsesnewmexcom@...> wrote: a lot of mine get blacker each time they shed...
Anderson's Ted (aka, Dersam's Ted) is one that's found within many ES's today. He is the sire of Warren's OK King (aka, Anderson's King). The extensive...
FWIW, in some of my current, but shelved for the moment research, I have discovered that Stodghill & the Blankenships were not always b&t breeders. Both...
How interesting, Rebecca! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to read not only further info on the Stodghill/Blankenship but OMG, having found the info/pedigree...
Fascinating stuff, I'm really looking forward to hearing and reading more! These are the kinds of things I find especially interesting, because my take is that...
In a message dated 4/4/08 6:23:36 AM Eastern Standard Time, ... Very interesting! Thanks for posting this here, Peg! The thing about linebreeding is that...
... I know what kind of stain having a family memeber in the hospital is hope all goes well. I was wondering, do you or anyone else think the fact that years...
... there ... Chesney's Lilly is linebred geographically. They avoided any linebreeding that they knew about but when Sheryl researched the pedigrees she...
this is my very favorite color! Chico was that color, and my Mac was that color- he was such a cheerful guy - a love to be around- impossible to be depressed...
A lot of Gemma's black is what Tish describes as being banded. I think this may the coloring from the agouti gene. Hi Kris! Is Mace's black hair banded, or...
