things not going to plan

i had a dog all set up for breeding gemma, but after a extra long look at the pedigree i realized they both had a relative further back that produced blue , i would be gutted if i had a blue so i have to start looking again, gemma is due in season any day so theres a possibility we will not be mating her

Aww Sue,never mind hun,i'll put big Indie on a train and you can get him your end.
He carries l/c gene and defo no blues.

whats so bad about a blue ive never understood this

i think they look lovely

Most breeders dont like colours Shell,then again some breed specifically for certain colours.

I have Shadow,but he was neutered at 15 months old,i never intended to breed
with him.

Breeding colours is not my thing but we like what we like,so everybody different
and yes,there are some nice coloured dogs out there.

sorry shell black/tan bi-colours and blanket backs only for me ,

Does that make you colour prejudiced Sue.

dont see the problem so long as theyre healthy


whats the difference between a saddle back and a blanket back ive not dared to ask on the gsd pages ... theyll think im stupid

lots of people don't see a problem thats why there are so many colours even panda ones, saddle back is like tammy or indie blanket back is like gemma or marley

panda coloured gsd's are just plain silly

yes i am when it comes to sheps , just think that messing with genetics is wrong just my opinion ,

i agree with sue shelley

but its all down to money

gsds are about the only breed where the kc allows colours that dont comply with the breed standard to be registered .
even on accredited breeders it states you must comply with your breed standard
whites,blues ,etc dont comply
but do the maths yourself over 12,000 gsd pups registered last year at £13 each
almost treble many breeds

then look at the whites,blues being advertised every week lot of money to lose if you do not register them

but if joe public wants to pay above the going rate for a fault then thats up to them

many dont realise its a fault until they want to try showing

ther is currently an advert in scotland
2 litters total 18 pups (same breeder)
advert reads longcoat blues, blue/tan & all black

believe the last time the advert read only blues in scotland £850

think you know who it is Jan there a little further north than you

Think i do know who it is Kenny.£850

Now that is shocking.Would that be the same breeder that has around 10
litters a year. ......Dundee area possibly.

I know who it is!!

I think the whole forum knows who it is too

spot on Jan
and she is a KC ACCREDITED BREEDER

JUDE you got it wrong this is another puppy farmer , we know of 3 from fife up and more around ayrshire

She's actually got 3 litters, all born within 10 days or so of each other

See this is what pisses me off.Breeders who breed these rare colours and price
them ridiculously high.They are not rare,they are a fault.Ok,i have a white,but as i
have already stated he was neutered at a young age as i never intended to breed
with him. Its the way these breeders advertise them as rare and unsuspecting public
think theyre getting some thing special and are daft enough to pay the price.
Although i do think some of the blame should go to the puppy buyers as if they did their research they would know exactly what they are getting.

they also have an accolade as experienced breeders
on there ACCREDITED BREEDERS u get this when you have registered 5 litters.
the kc set this up to stop puppy farmers but it just helps them

We have a mutual aquaintance who recently bought one of her pups
That tells you a lot.

This is disgusting, how would this stop them? They pay for registration on the first 5 and then get accredited!! Unbelievable.

My missus and I love the pure white and black sheps more than the traditional brown/black colours.

And the Blue Australian Shepherd is just gorgeous. I've had working gun dogs most of my life, pure breed Labs and Spaniels and never registered any of them or had desire to show them. Just love them
