Lisa, thanks for sharing that email. Their dogs are very impressive and sadly I would have to agree with most of what they said. You just don't see many of the dark steel blue dogs in the ring and when you do see them you have to wonder if its the real thing. With the DQ being added to the standard it might inspired breeders to try breeding for the darker colors but then I worry about the uneducated judges that will DQ a darker younger dog that has not cleared yet. What a dilemma! |
