Could I ask a question of the breeders here? I had understood that more than one recessive gene, despite the odds, can show up at once at any time in a lineage to occasionally produce a purebred puppy that isn't typical of the breed and that any gene or genes can mutate at any time, also producing the atypical purebred pup. Are those statements true, however far-fetched the liklihood?
