Born Blue We just had 3 beautiful healthy little puppies~but one is blue. I have been reading everything I can possibly read about them~sadly it looks like there is no guarantee that he'll be ok. I am not going to sell him~and am definitely not putting him down. I read in a couple of sites on the net where the breeders said to put them down before you get too attached 'cause they are only going to have health/skin problems and 'cause greater heartache later when it has to be put down. I just can't do it!! & feel I will let nature take it's course with this little guy~unless I can see he is in great pain and suffering from his condition. I just didn't find much out there about what happens to these little guys as adults~just a lot of mixed 'opinions' but not a lot of pics or progress reports!! I am trying to follow the story on here about another 'blue born' named 'Mac'~and so far he is doing great~which gives me hope!!:) I will post some pics of our 'little blue' and try to give updates as well. Here he is just a couple of hours old. |
Definitely dont put down. We have had blue born adults on here. There used to be one breeder on here that had experience with them but I havent seen them for awhile. Search blue born pups on the search and Im sure you can pull up some of the old threads |
It is a genetic mutation that may or may not have serious health problems. My heart goes out to you. I could not put it down either. A breeder owed me a puppy for a stud fee. When I went to pick my puppy, she had a litter born that day by another stud and bitch. I was very upset when she said she was going to put down one of the puppies because it was blue born. I told her I would take the blue puppy instead of one from my stud's litter. She agreed as long as I would take it without papers, she wanted to pretend it was never born. I intended to just keep the puppy myself because I knew it was at risk to have health problems later on. My sisters daughter begged me for the puppy. Fast forward to today, my niece has the puppy, 7months old and very healthy with a white silky coat and blue green eyes. It is a mutation and the same pair should not be bred again. There are many threads on here about blue born pups. My niece did a lot of research and still wanted the puppy. She in her 30s married no kids by choice and they can afford it if she should need special care. |
My brian is shutting down on the YTers name, but I know she has a blue born named Mac. And he is the sweetest looking little boy. So happy you're choosing to not put him down. |
Found her! http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/member.php?u=19222868 Kendra is her name. Forgive my brain fart. But like I said, her beautiful boy is a blue born as well. Maybe she could offer some advice as well. |
Thanks for all the support!! It's heartbreaking when a little pup is not so 'perfect'~but hopefully he'll be a lucky one & be healthy!! He is getting SO big & is the biggest of the three now!! I tried to post pics~but I don't see them~maybe the files were too big?!? I'll try again!!:) Yes~Taryn that's the Mac I'm following the story on here~Kendra's!! He is so cute & looks healthy so far!!:) I hope I have the same outcome for this little guy!! |
Aww congrats on your litter and Im praying for this baby boy!!1 Hope he is happy and healthy! |
KendraE just gave an update on her 8 month old blue born! Do a search on the forum and goodluck with your pupper! |

Puppy pics hmmmm~not sure why I can't figure out the picture thing~still trying! :eek: |
Hi!!! Just saw your thread!!! YES...We also had a little blue born...Im in the process as we speak posting his new smilebox!! Mack was born blue and I too was completely "freaking" out and horrified at everything we read on the web. We actually studded out our Male (my baby, Bevo) for pick of the litter and Mack was the only pup born. We decided to keep him and love him no matter what.... Today, he is a ball of joy. He is the sweetest, calmest baby I have ever been around. So far, he has had NO HEALTH ISSUES!! He is a weird, but BEAUTIFUL color and has the most beautiful eyes. Please, please, please dont look at your little blue born any differently. There arent enough of them out there to really know what to expect. Mack is a blessing....we love him dearly....and even though he still may have issues arise in the future, he is still my boy...and I will be there with him every step of the way.... If you need ANYTHING...please PM me.....and I would love to see pics of your precious angel!!! Love, Kendra, Bevo and Mack Brown |
Thanks Kendra!! I have been trying to follow Mack's story 'cause he looks just like out little guy when he was born!! I'm glad he is doing so great!! I hope I have the same outcome for our 'little blue'!! So far he is on day 5 and is up to 9oz~he is the biggest & strongest now in the litter!! I'm still trying to figure out how to post pics~I can't seem to figure it out?!? :O Do I need to load them to something like photobucket?!? |
No.... It's a size issue. I always go to windows paint and resize them. If you want, email me his pics to kendraearl@hotmail.com |
