Title: Solid Chocolate Show type puppies
Post by: Oliver21508 on May 09, 2012, 08:46:56 AM

Hey

I know these are rare, but how rare are they? are they almost impossible to find, or does it just take a bit more searching?

Solid livers are not impossible to find but as with any recessive colour which isn't numerically popular, you'd need to be patient for as long as it takes and be willing to travel.

Misha is classed as being a solid colour even though she had tan points  ;)  Are looking for completely solid colouring?

 They are quite rare...  Although I know of a litter born five or six months ago which had three solid liver show types, so they are out there :blink:

Make sure you ask to see the pedigree because a lot of chocolate show types have workers in the pedigree, if you see FtCh that's what you should avoid  :blink:.
