This is a learning forum.
I agree with Lorriane about making notication about the puppies' pedigree (relatives) being known about the colors and anything else worth knowing of the parents and relatives -if showing or breeding. I try to get pedigrees (mine) and add photos of the parents and ancestors so I know the coloring (as best as can be) as well as anything else I can find out in photos, but I also go farther by trying to ask the owners and breeders what they know about the dogs and make notes. I want to know as much as I can about the dogs as far back as I can go. All this information is very important to me, than just looking at my dog seperately, especially if I am going to breed and try to find a compatable sire.
