Do you have A tricolor stud dog--perfectly marked or not? I have a list of fully tested tricolor stud dogs over 2 years of age and there are only 7 on the list--one of which is very old and very nearly infertile (not James!) so really there are just 6. All are either too heavily marked or too lightly marked. I am sure there are others, but have no idea where. I don't see them advertised, don't see them at shows--in fact don't see them being *used* in the CKCSC statistics. There is just no way of knowing what is available. As for xrays, I ask for all mine back from OFA and so far every one has come back as ordered--they haven't forgotten to send them back. I have a growing stack of them. This way people can see the xrays as well as the OFA cert.
