Well, on Dec 20 I got my early Christmas present and wish ,>>of a litter of 6 puppies. I have been waiting and wishing for a black female for a long time. I had two years ago 2 all black males but not one black female for the longest time here at Mercer's. She started at 10:00 PM on Monday night and done by 7:00am. Sire is: Mercer's Believe it or not (He is a grandson to Ch Amber's Maxima and MO-Jo's Icon Corbeau dam: Mercer's Great Exception (She is out of my black Ch. Mercer's Dark Illusion Well, she had 4 all black males , 1 black female (my wish for a long time and one blk/tan female. I would never thought she would have,>>>that many blacks in one litter with both parents being blk/tan. But I'm not complaining just happy here at Mercer's. Now waiting to see how she turns out.
