Wow...very pretty! So will her saddle eventually fade to the solid lighter color?
If a particular color (off standard or not) doesn't pop up very often that does make it rare. If the dog is healthy and by virtue of its coloring is rare, then I think that could warrant a higher price.
I wouldn't pay more, but I could see where a breeder could in all honesty say it's rare which --- like all rare thing --- to
some buyers it's worth a higher price tag.
