As you say linda you cant really think about the colour you want. When we were thinking of alba's litter as the dog was very black and white we thought we might get a lighter one but not white as eric really doesnt like them too white so when the pups arrived and there was only one bitch  - you guessed it she was going to be dark. Saying that a more lovely bitch you could not have had and it was so tragic we only had her for a short time as she was a real stunner. Hogan was picked because he was cute and we all liked him!! Kelsey cos she sucked my finger aged 1 day old!!! Kai and his brother were near identical in marking very black saddled so we knew from the out what he would look like and he is typical munster, and wee paws well you all know why she stayed nothing to do with her coliur or make or shape just because we fell for her and she seemed to fall for us so she stayed - are we happy - yeah we couldnt be happier with her she is a lovely natured well adjusted young lady who has a great attitude to life she is ticked but it didnt matter . there werent actually any real dark ones in the litters, kai seems to throw different colours but never too dark. you just got to go with what you like - shows are now and again but dogs fill your heart everyday so who cares. watching my kids play with the dogs and teach them things is so rewarding that no prize can replace that.
