C'mon guys, karen is excited as she should be about her new pup..
The dam is a black worker with a superb temperament, the sire is my lemon roan stud dog Gilbey.
The litter has been lovingly reared with no expense spared by a lovely family who want to do everything right and are open to advice even though this is not their first litter, and a lot of thought went into it.
The litter credentials are both parents with good temperaments, both laid back, a very well reared litter and the proud new owners can be assured their pup will never develop gpra(Gilbey Optigen clear). That is more than can be said for many many litters that are born.
As most of you know, I like the lighter colours - most of my own breeding is white with black ticking or lemon roan/lemon and white - I have never had a deaf pup. Im not saying it cant happen but very very unlikely. I cant remember if I ever posted Lucy's pups pics up - probably not in case it contravened board rules, but that was lemon roan to lemon roan - the pups were very light lemon and whites with dark eyes, and deaf?? you must be joking-they could hear a pin drop!!
I think the pup would best be described as lemon pied - this is a colour name I had to use a few years ago when i bred a white dog with black ears with a few black ticks, and a few patches of lemon on his left side. There was no other way to describe him to register him as he was not a tri colour in the classic sense.
