4 Northern Babies

Postby Fatal_S » Wed Oct 03, 2012 8:49 pm

This morning baby Ellen left for her new home in BC. I realized I hadn't gotten any photos of her or the other babies recently, and needed to snap some quick photos of some of Evitas stunning babies from this year. Evita is the mama who gave birth to 17 tiny babies, many of whom are, IMO, completely beautiful. So I grabbed Ellen and 3 others to show off.

The babies are:
Ellen - This baby is super bright. She glows; I think I could use her as a nightlight. I am desperatly hoping her new owner posts tons of photos as Ellen grows up.
Elsa - This baby is very pale. Where Northerns would be beige, she's nearly white. Where most Northerns are orange, she's pale yellow. She's also very small. Not quite as odd as last years Bomber, just very light.
Emily - Emily stunned me when born, and has me wrapped around her little finger. She's fairly dark and has tons of dark red down her back. The red didn't show up too well, so I'll have to get better photos of her.
Erin - Erin is the biggest baby of this litter, which isn't saying much (they're so tiny!). She's fairly classic, so I grabbed her to show the difference. It does seem like she's heading into a another shed soon though, so keep that in mind when looking at the photos.

Pictures!
4 babies in a bin. Emily at top, Elsa far left, Ellen far right, Erin at bottom:

4 babies in my hand (they didn't like to stay still):

3 babies lined up. Elsa, Ellen, Emily in that order:

Lastly, Ellen just before shipping off. Safe trip Ellen!

Next, I'll try to get photos of the babies from different litters to compare. I have 4 sizes right now. Evita's litter is tiny, Fluke's litter is small, by babies from Pink T. are mid-size and chubby, and yearling Bomber is getting longer and longer (but not chubby, he's taking after his daddy). Maybe I'll throw some adults in too. Just gotta keep em all seperate, I'll figure something out. Stay tuned :D

I guess have been getting behind with my pictures, I should take some new ones of Hobbes to compare with!
It is quite cool to see her litter-mates though! :) I wish we could get them all together just to see how they all have changed.

Awww! You say she's going to a new home! Do you have any others available? I live in Arkansas and would need to have one shipped, but I have some time before I'd be ready to house the little doll, and you'd have time to play and take more pictures! If you have any available, you can email me at furcbluebird@yahoo.com. I get emails straight to my phone and would love to talk with you about these little babies!

When they are truly orange, the adults remain intense! Young blueys are really great, but the special ones get even better as they develop. That is basically how you can tell the difference between a nice baby, and an exceptional animal.

Thank you everyone :) Ellen made it safely to her new home, so hopefully there will be updated photos when she's settled in.

lovinonkittens, I have several babies left, but it's not really worth the cost to import them from Canada when there are so many fantastic breeders already in the USA. Check out the BTS.net recommended breeder list and see if anyone has babies available: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=19635 . I'm pretty sure the owner of this site, Zach, has several babies available now. Jeff might have some too? Pretty sure James sold out already. Ray and Andrew both likely have babies, and maybe Donna at captivebred.com too.

Jeff, maybe you could show people what exceptional animals look like. HINT HINT. Post some photos, man!

I always giggle a little when I see people outside of Canada scrambling for Mel's babies... and I don't blame them. They are stunning, and super awesome in personality, if Misha is any indication!!! :)
