Looks like Daddy is a shaded cream (the black hairs in his ears) and the babies are shaded creams as well. Cream babies for the most part are always born dark and lighten as they get older. There's only one way that they would be born light and that's if the 'e' gene is involved. The 'e' gene masks all black hairs making them look cream from day one.

Beautiful pups! Congrats!
 
Uh Oh...lol

Thank you for the info...I guess I am in trouble now if they are creams. My wife absolutely loves these puppies already and if they are creams she will definately try and keep them.
 
You're welcome, anytime.

I don't blame her, I'd probably keep them too, lol :)
