Blue Puppies
 

Hello

I have just spoken to a very experienced person who breeds and is a three times Crufts judge, about blue puppies. The advice is do not breed from that combination again and find pet homes for all puppies born from that combination. Do not breed from any of those puppies. djm

Update on the original blue pups of my friend.
 

These pups were the true blue look. They were like the color of the sky on a stormy day. I was looking on some of the postings on this tread and saw a few pictures of some pups that they said were blue. My freinds pups never looked like that at all. They did not have the tan. Everything was blue. as far as the update on the pups. Well one of the pups is doing great. But the brother she has spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars already on him. He started loosing his hair around his eyes first then it went to his ears and then to his face. He has been sick several times. It seems he is always on some kind of medicine,. Of course is cute to me I think all animals are in some way cute. But to everyone that sees him they say what is wrong with that dog. They think he has the mange. It is sad for him because no one but family want to touch him. So please spay or neuter the pups and dont breed those parents again. It has been really hard on us watching this little guy go thur all this. But he loves life and he thinks he is the prettest one in the family :)
Hey maybe one day he will turn into a beautiful swain.

The sickly boy has the alopecia gene and the other may or may not. Either way, the sickly one will most likely continue to have health problems especially skin. He will need sunscreens and special hypoallergenic foods. These are from my experience and I am certainly no expert but that baby should stay with them and be loved for the sweet little being he is. There will probably come a time when that decision must be made but til then...do not breed the parents together or from the same lines!!! This gene is not always individual puppy contained. The lines from both parents are carriers of the gene. This is a sad message but I mean it to be informative. Love that baby for as long as he is comfortable...

Hi again.
The puppies are doing just great so far!(10 days)
I have discovered they are grey but have reflects of brown all over so, they are blue/fawn, and are becomming darker.

I have done some reaserch in the web and find out that Melatonin is a drug that works in some cases, when and if the hair becames to fall.

Not all the blue/grey/fawn dogs are afected by Color Dilute Alopecia (CDA) but , those who are, show signs by 6 months to 3 years, less severe in the darker ones .

And 3 healthy years is a good reason to be alive.

The firs litter of this female was whit another dog and went fine;
this dog now, well, was the last.

I will keep you posted if something comes out.

Thank you all for your concern.
We are all learning.

Marina i am sorry you had to worry so much about your babies i am sure you will be able to find a good home for them if you lived closer i would be interested. all puppies deserve love

Whispersmom or yorkie rose can you look at the pics of my little one , he his posted on here, he had a little hair loss on the tail mostly .you can not tell by looking at him though , it has grown back in right away but is coarser, 1 of you mentioned certain foods hypoallergenic would this be something to give him or not being he is otherwise healthy, have had him to the vet several times all is great except his little rear end lossing the hair. He is such a sweeite and a good boy already staying dry at night in his playpen could send other pics if those are not good enough for you too see his color.

Can you turn him sideways and backwards for a good coat photo...I will tell Rini about your post if she misses it. From the front pic he looks good..the blonde looks show quality..LOL

pics
 

here try these if not I have more these wrer taken yesterday afternonn very cloudy

pic's
 

I am going to tell Rini to look...the first side view is good. His coat may thin out and regrow short like a Doxie in the blue area or it may grow back longer...I doubt the gold will get sparse o thin out..it usually grows fine.
Rini knows alot more then I do about blue pups.

Blue baby
 

I will have the hubby run to the health food store for some flax and try that with his food also, I shaved the hair on his ears to help get the weight off so they may start to stand 1 day we have 1 up and then both down, but that will come in time maybe after his teeth all come in they will stay up.. Thanks
. Brandon is 6 and was a kindergartener this past year, the little man is a wrestler like his brothers and did very well this year placed 5th at state, wreslted with a smashed finger one day that his brother slammed in the door poor little guy his nail was coming off almost instantly but did not want to stay home had to go and wrestle, that is what we call a die hard will go wrestling ill ,hurt etcc has learned from his brothers.. Brandon is very caring about people and owies if you have one he will try to make you feel better the rainbow was his idea.. His grandfather passed away this year and he made him a snowman about 10 foot from his grave so grandpa could see it (my father was buried on his property) and then kept asking me did he see it told him probably not his reply was I knew we shoul d of moved it closer>>> Was too cute brings ya right out of the dumps.. he kept asking we finally told him yes he seen it,, he thought a picnic at the grave site would of been nice too , he said grandpa would of liked us all eating together... Maybe we should start a post and introduce our kids and then rini you can put your gorgeous kids and that beautiful grandaughter of yours on there, we have all showed ourselfs and our dwellings and our jobs how about our kids? We will keep up on the rainbows and sunsets Brandon will just love that!!!!!!!!!

Your blue puppies
 

I was just reading all the messages. Please dont even think of putting them to sleep. My friends 2 blues that I posted about are still living. One is beautiful with a full coat. The other one has lost almost all its hair. He is sick all the time but he loves life and his owners love him tooo. The hair, skin problem did not start until he was about 4 months old. Did anyone see on animal planet 2 weeks ago about the hairless yorkie that was born. He was the only one in the liter that was like this. I dont know if he was born with out hair or if he lost all of it. I really think this was a blue puupy. Because my friends pup is looking just like it. They look like a hairless chinese crest.. :)

Just want to say that the 2 puppies are OK and getting a darker coat.
I would love to have seen animal planet , sometimes new breeds start like this, it´s mother nature in acction.
I just pray for health to come for all this babies.

Take the advice of YorkieRose. She has never steered anyone in the wrong direction.

They are adorable and look good they look so cute sitting there by the marigolds, they look just like our little boy, we miss our little one alot I hope you find a good home for them like we did with ours, have they had any hair loss yet? Have you tried the melatonin? I do think that has helped our little guys coat they are still giving it to him and it did not make him sleepy at all.

Looks like a couple chocolate babies you have there. I had read they sometimes appear gray/silver as newborns. I've never seen one in person though. Thanks for all the pictures its been very interesting to see these babies develop.

Thanks for the pic
