Bruce, do we have you to thank for these fur babies?

Don't think they are Bruce's as it looks like there are two white-faced blenheims! I know he had a half-masked tri but don't think he's had blenheims with no mask. For anyone who might know -- aren't cavaliers with no mask called 'clown-faced'?
They are cute!
lol why are they considered unlucky?? whats the story behind thatHave never had a Tri with it, but like Bruce have had Tri's with a lozenge which for some reason is considered to be unlucky!!??
Hi!
Well the story behind the lozenge with the Blenheims goes back to "Blenheim Palace" and the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, whilst the duke was away at battle his rather fraught wife, Sarah, would rub the top of her red and white spaniels head with her thumb, this spaniel was expecting puppies and when they were all born they each had the "thumbprint" or "lozenge" on the top of their head! :lotsaluv: such a romantic story I think!!
The Blenheims of course took their colour name from Blenheim Palace, they were bred there for many years, in fact Sarah, a woman after my own heart, allegedly instructed for the ballroom floor to be taken up exposing the soil beneath so her beloved dogs could "get back to feeling nature under their paws!"!! They were working dogs there too, they were trained to the gun and there are pictures of them retrieving game from a shoot which had fallen into the river!!
I do not know why it is considered unlucky for a Tri to have a lozenge, just that it is considered unlucky! Would love to know if any-one else has a tale as to why??
