Don't let them scare you. Danali is slow to break. She is still almost black down her topline and a deep blue coming up her shoulder and hip. She took her first point last month at 8 months old. Dark is really popular right now and you'll find that your gal would do better in the ring than a dog that is breaking early and on the light side like my Carly.
Mary Trimble finishes small dark dogs around here all the time as does Barbara Stratford. Small and dark is in!!!
