Oops I forgot to add ... I definitely don't think dogs with overbites, roached backs and bad coats should be bred. Those things can affect a dogs health. I remember a dog at our local shelter had such a severe overbite that she couldn't eat and her back was so roached that she couldn't walk properly. Sadly, they had to put her to rest.
But I think the color variations (as long as the dogs are being bred for HEALTH FIRST AND FOREMOST) is a really nice variety and makes this beautiful breed even more special. I'd love to have another little Tia look-a-like running around but in a GOLDEN color.
