The line that my foundation stud comes form seems to be running light. If fact Cricket was found to be a bit short on pigment when I had a judge go over her. In order to rectify this I've brought in a redleg to add color and strength back into my line. If you breed silver you will get silver and they do lighten as they age. In my opinion one should strive for the blue and gold as that is the standard. I guess it depends on the goal for your breeding program as well. I'm looking to produce my next show dog as Connor will be finished someday and good show prospects are hard to obtain.
