As I had mentioned in my other thread, I was promised that there were 2 P14 babies arriving.

Then i was told it would be henlei instead of P14

So... babies arrived on Friday.... male and female but I only took the female.

The bag was marked Henlei/ P14 .... with my limited knowledge and after trying to compare to the pictures in the stickies... she looks P 14 to me?

your opinion would be much appreciated
 
Can you post clear, in focus pics of the tail (tip/end)? I have three pups that are henlei x P14 (confirmed as I bred them myself) and all three look very different. Two of which could pass as pure to the untrained eye in a couple months once that have darkened. I would never try to pass them off as pure and am only stating that so you have the example of comparison. Unfortunately you may never know unless you get the seller to disclose and provide pics of the parents. Which they should be more than willing to do.

I'm happy to post pics for comparison if you like but do not want to hijack your thread. Beautiful pups regardless of mix!

You are welcome to post pictures, no offense will be taken after all. Im trying to learn myself.

If I may also ask because im confused... does the henlei have white spots or yellowish spots? On the sticky thread on profiles and other places I have googled, it looks in the pictures like their spots are yellowish?

Here you are, for comparison. The spotting on henlei will vary from yellow to bright white depending open the individual. P14 mostly all have white spots. I haven't seen many with yellowing spots.
