Pups I have been at it a long time as many know. I had a stud service about 25 yrs ago and a female was born the most gorgeous chocolate color. I was not a club member at that time , but had a good friend who was..she called a few breeders and asked what they thought...all thought the pup should be destroyed...it was not my decision to make and I was happy the owner kept her.
4 yrs ago I got a blue male in a litter...I asked around again..some were still putting them down, but most felt it happens, find a pet home... my boy is in a pet home and very happy.
There have always been non-standard colors, but more and more breeders are allowing them to live...plus, the Internet has changed the world..LOL we find out about these things much more. |
