We've never had, nor seen one like this. This is from Ember's first litter. Ember is a Really dark Red like an Irish Setter.

This is probably some shade of Red???

We have no Chocolate genes in our lines.

Could it be ‘Havana brown’? Have never seen one!
It's not as dark as Havana Brown. We've had those. They're almost Black. Several of these puppies have variations of the same thing. The color goes all the way to the skin with no banding, so neither Sable nor Brindle in it. It's like a clear color, but we don't know where it's going from here. All the reds change. It's most likely some form of red.

It's not exactly like in this picture, at least not on our monitor, so I doubt it transfers anywhere accurately. The other parti is sort of an Auburn and Black combination. This is like a litter from Mars. Ember and Dapper.

Ember is doing a wonderful job with them. All six are very fat and strong.

How adorable! I love coat color genes and I am definitely going to see if i can puzzle out what color the pup might be!

On a side note, I just saw on Dapper's page that his sire was Gilwood's Tater! Such a small world in dog circles sometimes, my Enzo is from Gilwood and is at least somewhat related to Dapper!
Dapper is also a Grandson of our Posh. A result of one of our breedings out to bring in new blood, but keeping Posh strong in it. Posh is Karen's Kodi's Sire, as well as strong in the pedigree of many high ranking performance dogs.

We've still been too busy to update our website, which was built with software that is no longer supported, so I can't edit anything, much less add pages.

Here's a picture of Ember. I think this was taken when she was about a year. Now past two years old, the red is much deeper and darker.

Pam had a hunch that you need to breed Black to Red to keep strong pigment. I believe she was right. You can select red with good pigment, but if you keep breeding red to red without bringing the black in, pigment will suffer. Dapper is Black, but he carries a little "e".

She is SO gorgeous! i love how red looks on a havanese.

It's neat to see how so many of our dogs are connected, i know it's partly because of how dog breeding works with a slightly less common breed but it is so cool to see.

You're probably correct about it being a dark red but i wonder if its possibly some sort of reddening of a brown coat with the chinchilla gene, which unfortunately still is not well understood. it will be fun to see their colors change! From my understanding the C locus is in charge of how much "red" or "brown" is expressed in a coat and can affect how vibrant the tan points are on a dog.
Ember is gorgeous!

Wow! We know it’s NOT chocolate, so it has to be either sable or clear red, but boy, it looks almost exactly the same color as Ping at this point! It will be really interesting to see how it develops!!!

Fabulous pigment!!! And I agree that I think breeding ee back to black is the way to go!
The other Parti is darker than this one. We didn't take a picture of that one because it only showed up as Black, but it's not.

Here are some pictures I just took of these same puppies at six weeks old. This was the first good day for them to go out on the porch, and the light was good. We still don't know what they're going to end up like.

Interesting!
Beautiful, luscious coats!
These are the three that look black in the "Lunch" picture. As you can see in this light, they aren't really black.
The middle, mostly solid girl is in Ruby's litter. The two parti's are in Ember's. Dapper is the Sire of both litters. He's Black as black can be.
