I would think that it would be preferable to breed to a dog from a line that runs dark. Hopefully you would than get the color without taking the risk of compromising texture. |
Breeding a fault to a fault gives you a new fault to deal with...breed to a line of steel blue, silk.
My best advise is to go and watch, be everywhere until you are a fixture. I went to show for pure fun and pleasure long before I showed...I never really understood a breeder who hated watching a dog show...it was going to college for me.
