Stud Dog Chosen For Oct. Litter!

 After much time & consideration, we have finally chosen a stud dog to sire Karma's (aka: Kai Den's Supernatural) litter! We had thought of so many different dogs, but, the final decision was ironically, our first thoughts on the matter...I guess it goes to show that your first instincts are right!
 Anyway, the dog we chose is Ch. Julsby's Hey Good Lookin' aka "Slick", a nice yellow dog from Snowberry Labradors in Colorado. He seems to be producing nice rears & turn of stifle & that's what we feel we need to improve on w/ Karma. She is a lovely girl, correct type, structure, coat, wrapped otter tail & gorgeous front....plus, that sweet temperament. She is dominant black, so all her puppies will be black, but since we are using a yellow stud dog, all the puppies will carry the yellow gene & will produce yellow puppies if bred to another dog that also carries yellow. (Genetics are interesting!)
Karma is a strong producer in throwing her type in most all her puppies. Basically, we needed a dog strong in producing the thing we felt could use a bit more strength w/ her, & that was turn of stifle...which is my pet peeve. Slick seems to be putting that turn on most of the puppies I've seen out of him, so we're hopeful that this will be the right match....Karma's overall type, w/ Slicks rear!
 The semen will be shipped sometime in the next week or so, which means the puppies will arrive in Oct. & ready for new homes in Dec. I'm glad it will be cool when the puppies come, because having them in the heat is not a pleasant thing! I prefer winter puppies, so this is good timing!
