Just a late response to this ... I think it's the way they look in the
pictures, as my camera tends to make photos appear either too light or too
dark. As noted in an earlier post, I have more pictures up in photopoint.
The above pups look very similar to pups I got from a light DEH/DEH pied
pair I had.
On the other hand, my younger litter is developing nearly identical to my
older litter and the younger litter is eef ... from the same father,
different mother. So maybe being eef doesn't make much difference if the
pups are also Cch or Ccb?
