 blue/silver born yorkie
hi to all...
I have two females and one male yorkshires that I breed... been doing it for about 3 years. last night my female had 3 pups. 2 girls and 1 boy. the boy is gray/silver. I IMMEDIATELY started searching the web bc I know the puppies are supposed to be born black. the majority if he's things I read were sooooo negative and demeaning towards the breeder. which I feel is wrong. I found it offensive bc I love my dogs dearly and I take excellent care of them.
it was said that the color is,a recessive gene that can be in either if the parents that gets passed down to the puppy. I absolutely didn't do this on purpose. so I don't know which parent had it. my dam is blue/gold ( she had the traditional silver but her tan has a hue/hint if red- which I call gold) and my sire is blue/tan.
this was sooo unexpected.
some blogs say that the pup will not live past a couple of days, when their color is supposed to change they go totally bald, and have skin issues, blindness... And the bad bad lists goes on. but then I saw some pictures of older blue born pups. they, are not bald, nor blind. but most of them have razor/buz cuts bc the users say their hair doesn't really grow long especially, around the ears.
I also read that there's is two different types of blue borns.
at the end of the day... Im concerned about this little pup and his quality if life. I want to give him a chance.. but then I also don't want to set this pup up food pain and suffering later.
if anyone has a blue/ silver pup or adult dog that can shed some light ot info .. would be helpful.
thanks in advance.
