What is bred to what to get one...if a RL is bred to silk and you say all pups will be silk, then what type of coats were bred to get the RL...I think I am too old to not breed "blue silk to blue silk"..in the first place..saves so much unnecessary guessing and work..LOL
I wonder if the red leg are born wiry rather than the regular puppy coat we see on new puppies? I remember about 11 or 12 years ago, an acquaintance had a litter of 3 or 4 pups. One she named Bristles because he had a wiry type of coat practically from birth. This was before there was much internet etc and neither of us knew at the time that a red leg could exist and we didn't know what she had. I have no idea whatever happened to that pup other than she sold him for pet.
