Here's a pic that shows his beautiful coloring a little better!!
He's a beautiful boy, but I just want to point out that not every dog with silver coloring is a blue born. This is referred to as light blue and while it’s not the preferred dark steal blue of standard, there are no health problems associated with silver coloring or light blue. Also, there are degrees to the blue born condition. Your little guy seems to have a slight case with only sparse hair. Many have an eczema type of skin condition, no body hair and some are blind. This is still a serious condition and these dogs should not be bred no matter how pretty they are. Glad Hippo is doing well, and he found a great home!
