I'm pleased they have taken the plunge.

I am so glad for your parents Emma. What a lovely looking puppy - bet they can't wait to bring her home.

Hi Dawn, the mum is a very pale yellow and the father has a darker coat but still yellow, why?

Sorry Ive only just remembered this Emma. It was just the pup lacks pigment round his eyes, they should be black, this often happens when yellows are mated to chocolates, or if the breeding is yellow and chocolate in the first couple generations.

Thats interesting Dawn, I love the colour breeding variations the genetics of colour understand it in Staffs never really tried to understand it in other breeds of dogs.

very interesting Dawn - the parents are definately both yellow. I will see if I can find out of any of the grand parents are chocolate.

Well Poppy has been in her home now for a couple of days and already has my dad wrapped around her little finger, took a picture of her yesterday which I think sums up her personality
