I think blue borns have always been born but breeders used to put them down and not talk about them because of the shame that they put down an innocent animal and because they did not want people to know that a blue born yorkie was born in their breeding programs but now with the sophistication of the internet we are becoming more aware of them and are able to see for ourselves that they are not all born deformed or ill just because of their color, they make beautiful pets! |
probably a daft question, but to those in the know, is that to do with the blueborn gene? my grans Toby (rip) had slightly leathery ears with only very short hair that never grew, and a wee bald-on-the-top snout. i'd always put that down to a minor fault, but now its been mentioned i can't help but think it may be more serious than i'd thought... he had a dreadful immune system- to the point that he actually died of a tummy bug!
(please, please, i'm not meaning to scare anyone- i'm not saying that every single tummy bug can prove fatal for a blue born, but Kendra, your wee Mack had an issue as a pup with a parvo-like illness didn't he? )
