I have a quick question that has nothing to do with chocolates, but does concern the part of your quote I listed above. How do you list your puppies when registering? Since they do not show whether or not they are going to turn blue til later, do you just list all puppies as black and gold, or black and tan if they are lighter? I registered Ben as black and gold when he was a puppy because that was how his coat appeared at the time. He has turned out to have that nice steel blue color, but his papers show the black and gold as I orginally registered him. Just wondering how some wind up being listed as blue and gold .... are the owners just useing wishful thinking?
