All i asked was if it was a blue and thats it not for all this other stuff. You wanna come at me and not respect what I ask I'll play your lil games and tell you what you dont want to hear.

Sorry, you are offended, I did answer more than you asked, I needed to be sure that you were aware of these things and not only that, others read these threads and learn without even having to ask a question. I want to make one thing clear, while blue born is may not a death sentence for all, for many it is and if they don't die, it's can be agonizing life. We hear about some of the success stories such as Kendras, but as she said, she's had to spend well over 10,000 dollars to keep Mack alive, and that’s a success story, do you really want to wish this on someone?
Here’s what one expert says,
"Unfortunately with blue born puppies the situation is usually fatal. Very few live beyond the 1st few days. The ones that do survive almost always at the time they would normally break blue, lose all their blue body coat and get a very leathery skin that is like an elephant hide and causes the dog to be in extreme pain. At that time the dog has to be humanely put down. I have heard of a couple that have lived a normal life, but I think there are very few that do. Do not be tempted to raise one of these as you are opening yourself to heartbreak, let alone what the dog will go through later in life."

So this isn’t just a little skin problem this is a severe condition, and for you not to do everything in your power to ensure that none of your offspring are spreading this horrible ailment is wrong. Please don’t get defensive, learn more about the disease and tell your friend to neuter his dog as well. You can make a difference.
