Before I talk about why Kyrie's coloration is so special, I wanted to catch up a little bit with some of our first pictures of her. :) The above is my favorite pic of her when she was a little pup. Even though it's a bit blurry, I think it captures the puppy-cute and the sweetness of her expression very well! Here's another, better shot below. You can see how her colors had really lightened up in the four weeks or so since that first LER pic!
When we brought Kyrie home Zak and I were very inexperienced with introducing a younger dog to an older one. We had heard everything from horror stories to "Don't worry!" We wondered about where to introduce the pups and asked for advice on the forums. Finally we settled on the front sidewalk, which wasn't necessarily in Leo's "territory".
As it turned out, we needn't have worried. Leo was always a mush around other dogs--definately not even close to the alpha--and this tiny little puppy totally bowled him over! He couldn't figure out whether to follow her around, or play, or just fall over (see below)!
We did originally introduce them on leashes, but after we got them into our fenced-in backyard we let them go to figure each other out, and it worked fine. If you would like to see the photo album of Kyrie's First Day, go here to Zak's Picasa album!
