Linda, TedBear sends you special kisses and hugs...he thinks he's adorable too
His sire and grandsire are both B&Ts - I have a link to a photo of his Grandsire if you would like to see it. Dam was a Ruby - I also met a niece puppy, who was a really sweet little Ruby. There are a few Particolours going further back though.
I suspect the strong colouring may be due to the B&Ts, as I think repeated ruby to ruby matings produce paler pups.
I love the way the Rubies shine in the sunlight, they just look superb.
I'm so sorry you haven't heard from your breeder..I guess she would have been in contact if she'd had pups. :cry:
Inverness is about 60 miles South of here...but if you do ever come over for a visit, please get in touch, it would be lovely to get together. Do you still have family in Scotland?
