In 2021 work resumed to continue the genetic lineage of animals resident in our facility, through reproduction from four pairs, two of which concerned imported animals undergoing their first reproduction cycle. This was the initial reproduction session supported by the Big Dogs of Tibet Society.

As dictated by the biology of these animals, the offspring were born in January and February, whereas the photographs that follow refer to the period from November 2021 to March 2022. Therefore the animals shown below, which are some of the newborns not being transferred, are between 9 and 14 months old.

While it may be superfluous to state it explicitly given that we’ve decided to share them, we are delighted with the results and in particular the outcome with the first-time breeding pairs. In practice, reproduction cycles are never completely predictable, given that we have to trust what we can observe and are without full information on their genotype.
