Well, since there is an online reunion, I couldn't resist. Here is my fluff ball. He is really easy going so far, doesn't bark at me, just gives me this look "have you totally lost it?". Jen, I couldn't be happier with him :)

He's beautiful!

Well, if he doesn't bark at you, I'd like him back, please. 
Handsome fuzzbucket. I am really curious to see what kind of coats he and Cierny have when mature. Bravo seemed fluffier all over. I might be wrong.

He really doesn't bark that much overall, but he sings, if that counts. He did bark at me in the beginning, but quickly figured out that doesn't get him anywhere. And no, you can't have him back, he really makes me happy :). Except at 5 am in the freezing cold when he insists that we we really should go together outside, so he can potty.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that he will be with longer coat. I love how Bravo looks...

He's got a great face; he'll be a stunner, I think.
Cylas still hasn't learned that barking doesn't get him anywhere. He continues to try. He tries very hard.

My field lab pup was the same way. VERY vocal when he first came. If he could not be the center of attention, 100% of the time, he would let everyone in the neighborhood know about it.
The strategy I followed is to completely ignore him when he barked. I never looked at him when he barked, EVEN to say "no" (saying "no" to him makes him think that the barking did get me to pay attention to him). In fact, when he used to bark, I used to turn my face away from him and just walk away.......consistently.....until he stopped doing it entirely, after a few days.
Now after a couple of months, he is a quiet bugger at home and also in his crate....but of course out in the woods and when off-leash (at least a couple of hours in a day), he is a total live-wire. He is also very mouthy with my 6-month old Czech WL GSD girl.....but then she is a she-devil in her own right too, and does "clean his clock" when she absolutely wants to, even though at 56lbs (lean), she is WAY lighter than his nearly 70lbs (lean) weight. Thankfully, they like each other a lot.

I'm glad Chaos has calmed down some and you haven't had to kill him. I was getting a little worried.
They all look to be about the same size.

Botanica i think you can uncross your fingers :) Looking at that head and the fuzzy fur, he is a good bet at being a long stock coat.
I actually had my fingers crossed my pup was a stock coat. He even went through a stock coat stage when he started losing puppy fur but alas, he regained his royal mane.
Chaos will be a great looking dog with either coat though.
Good luck.

They seem just soo....Wooly and thick than actually long. Though it is a bit longer.

Botanica he looks great! His coat kind of looks to be a little tiny bit longer than Cierny's, but that may be my wishful thinking. I've had my fingers crossed that Cierny turns out to be a stock coat. Now I don't care! I've embraced her fluffiness! (I think it was impossible not to.) All the boys look HUGE, but I guess that goes along with them being male. xD How much does he weigh, do you know? Cierny last weighed in at about 33-34lbs.
