silver/grey puppy

Sasha2008 · 07-18-2008, 11:14 AM

Hi,

Just was curious about something, my boyfriends Aunt is on a waiting list for a puppy from the breeder we got our Bogart from.
Unfortunately there were only 3 pups born, and one didn't make it. Of the two surviving pups, one is a silver/grey color. The breeder said in the 23 years he's been breeding he's never seen a pup that color. I have a pic I'll try to post later. He plans on keeping this girl

Has anybody ever heard of this? His dog's are all black and tan.

Here are the pics

Might grow up to be a blue!

There are some blue puppies on this page: http://www.kerstoneshepherds.net/colors/colors1.htm

Wow beautiful colour, rare colour.

mkennels · 07-18-2008, 11:52 AM

I believe it will be a blue color as well a blue/tan

I think blue (like liver) is a dilution, so the dog is genetically black and tan but everywhere that would normally be black is blue instead. I believe it's autosomal recessive, so both parents must be carriers to get a blue pup.

That looks to be a blue. A breeder on another list just posted he litter of 12 with three blue pups.

Yep, the puppy is "blue". I really hope the breeder isn't planning on keeping it so they can BREED it later.

don't think so, think he just wants to keep her because she's so unique
