Breeding big spot BD hybrid pups

[Dieselhybrid]

Just born a week or so ago, these pups came from a somewhat recently established pair. Father is Big Spot BD, mother is unique hybrid. Notice that all 4 of these pups look completely different! Hybrid genetics at play. Often they look like mother or father, and sometimes you get something completely new.

This pair has produced a few stunners before. The older sibling of the bunch is here we call him Gangster, he will be kept for future breeding efforts:

I see potential in this bunch as the siblings from older generations really blossomed and matured nicely. They have a fairly strong, larger sized "islanding" gene (not really the micro TI, haven't seen that yet). You can see it expressed already here in one pup in particular. Will post periodic updates to watch the group grow and mature. It's unpredictable how they will turn out, that's the part I enjoy most. Will have better photos soon.

Cheers hope you enjoy!

Thank you! We will keep a close eye on her indeed! She looks a lot like her older brother did as a young pup.

Congratulations Dieselhybrid .... Stunning babies

Love the one next to the air stone but they all stunning in their own way.
It is quite amazing that all 4 look completely different from each other... the genes there really did funny things..
Will be interesting how they all develop
