The site discusses genetics and I thought it might be of interest to those who would like to understand more about the genetics. Blue born are not just an anomaly, and have serious problems. As far as humans having a blond baby after 5 generations, if you understood genetics, you would know that this isn't "kicking" in but the blonde gene was a recessive trait, and you need two recessive genes for a recessive trait to exhibit itself. Breed clubs always believe in breeding to standard, but some breeders are puppy salesman, and want to create a marketing niche, so they use the terms rare and unique, it's only rare because it's not standard, and it would be very easy to produce these dogs, if one wanted to.
