Holy cow! How many pups are in that litter? Looks like about 7 in the picture. What a beautiful set of babies.
And thanks for the additional info on the merles. Its too bad about the AKC then. They'll be missing out on a lovely color. And I agree with you, health problems can arise from irresponsible breeding regardless of the color. BTW - did I tell you how much I love your tag line? ~Beth On Feb 7, 2008 12:52 PM, marsha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > no. Two totally different things. Let me attach a couple of pics.
