Thanks everyone! Thanks for the coat explanations too Spiritwind
.
Today it was easier to tell who might be what coats. The breakdown is:
3 Male blue merles.
1 smooth
1 rough
1 rough harlequin (she was really hoping he'd be rough!
)
3 Sable merles
1 smooth female
2 male, we *think* one rough and one smooth (she might have a better idea now, I haven't seen them since early this morning) It's hard to tell on them because they are way darker than most sable merles we've seen in person. One seems to have the widow peak mask but it's hard to tell the way it blends with the other dark fur.
3 Sables males
I think one for sure was smooth. Maybe? Don't remember. We had the same problem with the masks. Bleah. She might know better now, hopefully she'll pop on and comment.
She was really surprised about the harlequin, but a quick call to Jordan's breeder revealed that she's had a couple crop up in that line. And the sire has a lot of Tallywood and Gambit behind him, she actually managed to find a picture of a harlequin rough bitch relative on that side in an old catalogue.
Here's a pic of everyone together! She has a show next weekend so I might be house/puppy sitting.
