A reputable show breeder would NEVER have allowed a color fault to be sold for breeding. Show breeders who breed for the betterment of the breed would have IMMEDIATELY spayed and neutered the pair and they would have been sold as pet only. So to make calms that any dog carries champions in their background with a color fault, yet has been sold with breeding rights speaks volumes to the original owner of the breeding pair. A reputable breeder would be horrified that a color fault had popped up in their lines. I've seen puppies that were held back for the show ring only to have a very minor fault (bite, ear tip, etc) be then sold as pet only. There is a standard that is set for the show ring and those who do show hold that standard very sacred. Those that do not should be held suspect. Furthermore, those that breed so far off the standard with a rainbow of colors should all be help suspect for their true motivatations to breed. If you have enough money you can buy whatever you want from places like Argentina and Europe. That is where many of these "champions" come from carrying lines with color faults.
Did I mention that Paris is a cutie. Not trying to diss your little cutie just trying to clear up any misconceptions regarding color faults and champion lineage
