Hmmm... well pretty dog though.

Was a pretty pup.

Not only that, it's a breed fault.

Email them and ask who's backyard these dogs were bred in. Say you only buy if they were bred in the breeders backyard. See if they catch on.

Just for the sake of argument, what are they supposed to do with the blue puppies?
What if this is a "reputable" breeder who doesn't want to sell these "abominations" under their kennel name?
What if they're all being sold with spay and neuter contracts and some people might happen to want blue puppies? ...even though their preference is wrong.

Personally, I think the solid blues are gorgeous. I would never buy one from a breeder who intentionally bred for the fault colors but I wouldn't turn one down from a reputable breeder who just happened to have one in a litter.

If a random blue pops up than no big deal. They should be sold with limited registration just like any other puppy.

If the entire litter is blue because this is what the breeder was going for (and that's how it sounds from the ad) than, well, they're probably poorly bred dogs. Sad to say, but it's the truth.

Yes, Paul, I'm aware of that. We can only guess unless someone contacts them. For all we know, both dogs could have had recessive blue and the blue litter was a surprise. And just because the litter is blue still doesn't mean the parents are poorly bred. It may be a case of well bred and shouldn't have been bred together because of a recessive blue.
