I thought everyone might be interested in the answer: Misty is Ember'...s full sister from the same litter.

When bred with Aslan, both Misty and Ember will produce third generation puppies. /temperament.html Now for the cosmetic features Misty may throw us in her puppies. What Causes Bubbles In Vinyl FlooringMisty has light yellow eyes, almost a green hew, in fact. Vacuum Cleaner Industry StatisticsShe will throw this in all of her puppies. Bobcats For Sale In New EnglandWhen bred with Aslan, the puppies will range in eye coloration from light amber to very light yellow. Misty has a longer coat than her sister Ember, so she will throw both long and short coats in her puppies. When bred with Aslan, the puppies will have both longer and shorter coat potential. Misty has a white spotted muzzle, which is actually a fault in the breed even though it can look very wolfie.

She may throw this white muzzle in some of her puppies, however, most puppies will have the dark black mask muzzle of most American Alsatians. A white spotted muzzle is dominant over any other muzzle coloration, so puppies that have this white spotting will have white muzzles throughout their lives. Misty has a large and heavy body type. She will likely be as stocky as Aslan and probably just a bit taller than he is. She will produce puppies with stocky bodies and coupled with Aslan, all puppies should be large boned, heavy and stand around 25 to 27 inches in height. Misty has smaller feet than we ultimately want in the breed. She will throw both large feet and small feet in her puppies, but bred with Aslan, the puppies should have large feet overall, with a few pups showing smaller feet than the others. Misty has a long tail that does not curl up over her back. Aslan and Misty will produce puppies with both short and long tails. Misty's ears have not yet risen. She will throw both erect and difficult to rise ears.

When bred with Aslan, all of the puppies' ears will work to stand with some ears weak well into 6 to 8 months of age. Yes, Misty has a red and black tipped agouti coloration in her outercoat with light cream legs and a cream undercoat. She will throw puppies with red in their coloration. However, Aslan is a true silver wolf gray and can only throw what he is. I currently do not know which is more dominant in coloration. I suspect that we may see a few red puppies in her litter with most puppies showing silver wolf gray.

As of February 21, 2010, the official name of this breed has been changed from Alsatian Shepalute to American Alsatian. It was changed by the board and approved by the members. The first generation American Alsatian was registered in 1988 in the United States by the North American Shepalute Club (since renamed the National American Alsatian Club). This breed holds five purebred dogs within its lines: the Alaskan Malamute, the German Shepherd Dog, the Great Pyrenees, the Anatolian Shepherd, and the English Mastiff. With over 20 years of selective breeding, only certain chosen pups were bred that possessed the desired traits of a family companion dog. The year 2000 was the first year that the American Alsatian was introduced to the American public, as they finally conformed to the breed standards set by the breed founder, Lois Denny in 1987.
