I quoted from Goldenray Yorkies, what THEY felt about blue borns.....I just did not want to think these two babies would be sold....and some breeders would jump on this "rare, rare blue color!!" as a reason to justify charging more for the babies.....to some unsuspecting owner, who would have NO idea the cause for this color was a genetic short circuit, and then loose their little baby after just several months or years. I just encouraged her to keep the babies, not to cull, but in the event they face they type of future outlined by GoldenRay, I didnt want to see those babies sold and then the new owners go through that heartbreak..... I certainly do hope Goldenray, as well as other breeders that have been doing this for 30-40 years, much longer than I have!....are wrong....and I hope your little baby lives a very long and healthy life....there are ALWAYS exceptions to every rule....I think they are emphasizing an "in general" concept!!! How old is your baby now? |
I completely understand!! As I also told her to either keep them or make sure they were close at hand with family or friends!
Mack turned 1 this past February... He is such a wonderful baby! I know we were very fortunate that he has done so very well. Of course, His future is still unknown.... but we just take it one day at a time... I just hate to hear people say they had a blue and they are garbage... Mack is wonderful and I cant imagine our lives without him!
That is him in my avatar... the gorgeous white baby!!!
