Do You Look Like Me?

A photo of Jethro was posted on Facebook a few days ago to show how badly he's moulting. OMG, it's the same here with Kaiah, Ross and Ziva chucking their coats. I Think Kaiah is currently looking pretty rough. She will need to finishing loosing this then get some of her new coat back before hopefully coming in season mid September .. 
The similarity between Kaiah and Jethro are unmistakable, though he has kept a slightly darker head .. and that's were I only see Nico, he could easily be a Nico son rather than his grandson. At a glance Kaiah does look more like her mother Sammi, but Sammi has a less intense expression. 
There is no doubt Nico has stamped his mark on his progeny here, with his children and grandchildren that are here taking a lot from him. (Sammi's brother Cal looks just like his mum Ziva though) 
Compare Nico to Jethro ... they are so alike
But Sammi, Jethro and Kaiah's mum is no doubt a combination of both her parents, Nico and Ziva; 
And Kaiah .. well I guess I only really see her mum and maternal grandparents in her. 
So yeah ... happy with the strength of my bitch line and the influence to it from Nico. 
Hopefully onward now using a very different type of dog to one I've ever used before, not only a sable but a Long Coat as well.
