The tri-colors, chocolates and partis are beautiful.
This is one of the reasons that I am not entirely in agreement with the "breed standard". These so-called "off color" dogs are gorgeous, sweet and healthy and deserve a long and happy life.
Chai has 4 white feet and white on her chest and striated through her coat. I like her uniqueness.

I'm glad what I read wasn't true! You're right about the color issue.. I can't believe someone would kill a a puppy just bc it's colors don't meet standards! That's terrible! And oh my your girl is so beautiful!
