Kit Kat Jam 1 year (and a couple of weeks)

My plan was to take new pics, but because of the weather and darkness and cat shows and life in general, it took a couple of weeks longer to finally get it done. It was still dark outdoors and the impending rain forced me to hurry, but he posed in the right spots voluntarily for the first time in months.
Kit Kat Jam is a strongly built young male and his look is intense. We are happy to enjoy his first two litters in our home and he seem to give his strength and ear placement to his offspring, added to social and sweet temperament. Pleased also that his heart looked perfectly fine at the first HCM test and of course he is GSD IV normal.
Since he became fertile at such early age he has rested from shows this autumn, but we hope he will accompany us again during 2010. So far, he and Tristan are very good friends, cuddling with each other, and we hope they will stay that way.

The Firefly kittens are the most adorable creatures and we are sad that we lost the tiny boy in the Watchmen litter, although it was no surprise. Älva and Anansi help each other with the kittens and it is adorable to see all nine kittens curled up next to each other in the same basket.
