I waited for over two years trying to get my first good example of the breed in a female ruby or tri and during that time, narrower my preference to the wholecolors. Before I got my dog, I went to shows, studied type, read books and found out about all the health issues affecting the breed. I discovered since the majority of show breeders have particolors, I was able to get my foundation ruby from an excellent show/breeder (wins and producers her own) who decided wholecolors were not her cup of tea! One breeder finally was honest with me and told me if he had a tri female that met the breed standard, he would keep her himself for show/breeding. That was over 8 years ago and I think it is more difficult to get a either since we have more information on health protocol. I am hoping for a ruby female to show in my next litter due in Feb. If I get more than one, I would be willing to share:). I am keeping my female tri to get started in the particolors and would be happy to share a female in the future. It takes patience and luck to get started. Patricia Powers Pratt Cavaliers >"Susan A.
