I really hope this lil guy is just unique in color and is healthy keep everyone posted please!
YorkieRose said some very informative things on the linked thread listed above. I've only seen the whole chocs, blues, goldens online and never really read about then before...
In another thread with Parti breeders I was asking about 'other colors" commenting I know goldens are like partis...why is it bad if someone breeds all 'other colors' I received a pm explaining blues are often sickly and thus it is irresponsible because of the possible quality of life of the pup...color is color but the risk of creating an unhealthy pup just to get a rare color seems irresponsible...
I know this wasn't the case in this situation...but this is why (IMO) breeding should be left to experts...because they do health screening/testing, health certifications(OFA etc), search the line they are breeding, research genetics, make sure they have a breeding quality dog after the dog matures into a dog etc...those whom practice responsible breeding caring foremost about the health and temperament of the pups they produce and the care they give their breeding stock...for their entire lives. |
