However, I think they are very pretty. Copper is a very sweet dog with a wonderful temperment! I wouldn't trade him for the world!!!!!
My little one is a ball of fire!!! She gives Copper a run for his money! He is happy for me to hold her occasoinally so he can get some rest! Ha, ha. She is really sweet, too, but very much still a puppy at 7 months. Copper is just over a year old. Thanks for your reply. |
Never heard of a serious breeder just killing them because of wrong colour. They are usually given free to friends or friends of friends or sold at much reduced price to a good pet home either already spayed or neutered or with assurances from the new owner that it will never be used for breeding and spay/neuter will be done at the appropriate age.
