I don't think that was a true albino dob then...alninos have absence or decrease of pigmentation in the eyes and skin and hair. These parts seem to be more or less white. So the eyes would not need to be red but loose of color...and they wouldn't be honey they would appear more white...

Posted By pixie bee on 09/07/2010 6:50 AM quote by wildrose: You asked if a dog that had a non standard/unacceptable color would remain "true to type". Obviously that dog by definition does not meet the standard thus not the "type" being accepted in the breed. His "type" is not going to change, so it's only the subsequent generations that are in question. Please refrain from using the word 'type' in any other way than of describing the characteristics/traits that create type within a pure breed. I do not believe I asked this question. A dog must have specific features to represent type for a breed. All the features of type must be present in order to be of that type for the claimed breed. If features are not present or other features are present then that dog is not of type for the claimed breed. A DQ fault would make a dog not of breed type,therefore not breeding stock. When all is said and done it really doesn't matter if this dog is pure bred - what matters is whether or not this dog is of type for a GSP. Being pure bred is not a measure of a dog's worth as a companion,ability or in any other way. What other type did you think we were discussing? The dog does not meet the breed standard or "Type" and his type will not change. If a dog that does not meet they standard or "Type" for the breed is bred, then in all likelihood it will produce more dogs that do not meet the "Type" Standard.

The dog does not meet the breed standard or "Type" and his type will not change. HE does not have type.

www.mabekennels.com/index.htm Just posted on Rarer Colors this web site. This dog looks like he could be the result of what ever this guy is breeding. The parents are patched and solid livers and have produced solid whites. They have bred Solid whites and patched and gotten all patched puppies. There is some faded color on some of their ears that could be remounts of a liver or some other color. Genetics has rules, but there are some rarities.
