Guess you'll just be buying hats to keep their little heads warm. Can you post some pics? I bet their still cute, they're just unique and will need unique names.

This is taken from that page and I find it interesting...
Breeding advice
Do not breed affected dogs or their parents. Where the condition appears to be sex-linked (occurring only in males), the mothers are carriers of the trait and should not be used for breeding.
I would not breed your female again. JMO
