Yours look like Single-Maned (SM) Lionheads. SM's only have one copy of the mane gene, have thinner manes and usually lose a lot of their mane as they mature. Double-Maned Lionheads have two copies of the mane gene, and are not supposed to shed their manes (not permanently, anyway). The "transition wool" on the sides is supposed to be a bit shorter and thinner than the mane, proper, but it will often still be there, even on adults. There are some that are called "Teddy Bear Lionheads" with so much transition wool, they almost look like Jersey Woolies in an unfortunate state of molt, though that isn't considered the preferred pattern.

The babies are actually lionhead mini lop mixes. They are a bit more hairier than my pure lionhead bucks. They are also getting bigger. I had expected less hair on the kits, but so far I haven't seen it, but they are still young, around 3-4 months.

This is the daddy.



He currently has even less hair as I think he's shedding. Do they do that? The other buck still has all his hair but is a bit younger than this one.

Off to Google teddy bear lionheads.

Dogs can't see color, so orange is no good for her. She can find it by scent if she needs to. But i thought white would be good. I bought her a Milan orange water retriever thing with a rope on the end and she chewed the end off of it.

Dogs can actually see some color! But they can only see blue, yellow, and greys. That's why all the agility obstacles are blue and yellow. So all the colors of most toys, like the reds, etc. Are useless and red is actually one of the hardest colors to see! So i suppose orange would be too.... but yeah, they CAN see color. Just not a lot. I wish more toys were blue and yellow!

So buy her a blue or yellow ball!!

And hmm, yeah, some dogs do chew the rope off. Gator actually did that too I think haha

Tee hee, yeah, I recently changed it to something Christmassy but didn't really like it, not bright enough for me. Then, I found this fella and he pretty much sums it all up nicely .. he will probably be staying for a while

Good morning all! Wasn’t able to sleep so got up and sat on the couch and it wasn’t too long later and son’s fire pager went off. I could hear talking and thought it sounded close to us...son come running out of his bedroom and looked out the window and said there it is and out the door he went. It is a neighbor down the road who we know very well. I think it was a shed but not sure. We drove in that direction to see where it was at and when we saw the first firetruck coming we went home. This is his first real fire. He had training this weekend and last. It will be an eye opener for him.
