Crystal's gold is still pretty nice but as you can see the blue is faded and yet when she got her championship her steel blue was perfect (she had a litter of pups) awhile before I purchased her and that seemed to be a part of making the change in color. I will look and post a pic of her Dad, he had what I consider the perfect shade of gold. btw at almost 14 Crystals gold is much nicer than this pic shows

lol
