    Blue happens when there is an absence of red pigment. Some breeders try for them - Nocturnals for one. I think there was a move towards 'mahogany' too, a couple of years back.

    In Oakleys litter some of the pups eyes were lighter hazel in color, I am fond of the way it looks and think it's striking but agree that the standard is the darker the better… Oakley has dark eyes buy wouldn't have minded at all if they were light

    Great to hear that she has healed and that you found out what the culprit was. BTW, I thought she had a very sweet looking belly!

    Sugar gets the 'winter nose' thing. It does get a pinkish black, but in summer goes straight back to black. All puppies are born with the pink noses and they later fill in. Talker still has a little bit of pink which I expect will fill in.

    @lvoss: Maybe it is because I live with black and whites but I have never thought of their faces as less expressive. I love their heads. I love the b/w heads too. I think the wrinkles are a big part of the expression and I can see those clearly on the b/w male better than I can see them on the brindle male. I never thought much of the b/w's…...till I got one.....or two.:rolleyes: :D
