    Bianca is Leo's cousin. Same father but mothers are littermate sisters, they both gave birth to their respective litters 2 days apart. Sable to sable breeding.

    You mean Bianca came from a sable to sable breeding? Genetics is so brain cell-killing.... Shes lucky she has retained her vision, it's just like owning an old dog but is not an old dog lol

    She is beautiful. What a weird happenstance that she came out that way. But obviously will be well-loved and cared for. She has beautiful bright shining eyes.

    I'm not a breeder. Can you explain in layperson's terms how this migh thave happened? That is, what accident of birth occured to produce this beautiful dog!

    The way I understand both parents are white factored which in this instance created dilution beyond color. It seems most you would normally receive is CHW... Although I am not quite sure how to clearly see white factor as neither mother or father have a lot of white on their hind legs.
    this is mom

    She is just purely stunning! I love Bianca's look. Standing there on that table groomed up her form is stunning. I've always liked white dogs. It goes to remind us there's quite a bit we don't know about genetics, and that the powers that be sometimes like to surprise us. :)
