Hi, Laura,
No tricolor stud at the moment. The only tricolor in our house was
neutered because no matter what we tried, we couldn't keep weight on
him. He seemed not to thrive on normal (or even abnormally high)
amounts of food. We tried everything with him and of course he had
propler worming, etc. It was my opinion that if he was already on the
thin side, using him at stud would work against his overactive
metabolism. Since we had him neutered, he has held his weight very
well. He is my youngest son's beloved pet. I was very sorry to neuter
him, but felt his health and well being came first.
Best,
Suze
