Hugo was born on 31 July 2015, so he is now 3 months old. He is a lovely apricot colour, and carries black and chocolate. Not to mention that he is an invisible phantom, so bred with a black or chocolate phantom female they would have lots of beautiful phantom pups! He is expected to mature to about 30 lbs and 17" at the shoulder. His sire is Puppy Loves unDante and his dam is Scotia Doodles Amber.
He has already been tested for EIC, PRA, OSD, and had an initial CERF exam. All that remains is to check his hips, which we will do early in 2016, check vWD and get a genetic ID. Once he passes all testing and matures we expect to use him with our girls Harmony and Phoennix, and possibly others. We will also consider studding him out to approved females, if there is interest.
One of our prime reasons for getting a second in-house stud is specifically to have a match for Harmony. We had intended to use Cumin with her, but they are both EIC carriers so that is out of the question. Also, having an in-house stud suitable for use with Phoenix (and possibly Katniss) is good, as Cumin is Phoenix's son and Katniss's brother, so those pairings are also out of the question!
Hugo will be joining Cumin in his guardian family, so both our studs will live together. Here's hopint they get along!
