If they mated... - Page 4

Yellowrose, That would be great. When Gus and I talked we discussed this exact thing you are mentioning. My dog had just received a G rating. Shock of shocks, I was sort of stunned to say the least. He told me not to worry about it as it has happened to him too. He told me about getting G ratings, then beginning to get SG ratings then finally V ratings. He was very inspiring and quite a person. I did not know anything about the magazine article and would love to see it. Brian

Brian- Thank you for the nice comments about my dog and her lines. I would love to see the pictures you have of her working at Dublin. Ali is still owned by Gus, I don't know if he is going to breed her again this year. Anika's daughter Adara(black) and son Ari(black) by V Bodo von Leamarco(black) both earned their SG last summer in the 18-24 month class, I hope to go V with both of them. Bodo earned his V in Germany. VA1 in 04', 05', and 06' was black. Long way back I know but he was VA1 for conformation not color. There is a difference between Bi-color and Bleed out. Bi's are born with tan on all four legs usually up to the elbows and hocks, with some on cest and face and are not genetically black. Bleed outs are born black and bleed tan on the legs, with some just showing in the toes and inside the back legs and others showing tan on all four legs part way up and behind the back legs and under the tail. There are many variations of bleed out but all of them are genetically reseccive black. A Very few blacks don't have some bleed out between their toes, Gringo was one.
