LexieAndSprinkles
Well-known member
First off I just want to clarify that this thread is not in anyway intended to promote, glorify, or talk about the act of breeding Cavaliers since I have absolutely no interest in this area and believe that it should only be done by experienced breeders who have done all of the recommended health tests, ect;
I'm a little paranoid about what is allowed on this board and what isn't. I don't want to offend anyone or post things that aren't allowed icon_blshing which is why I started with the above statement. Therefore if there is something in the content of this message that requires it be locked, I understand...
Back to the point. My best friend is currently in the research process of finding a reputable breeder to add a Cavalier to her family We've both been researching since as some of you have read before, even with what I thought was good research I still came across some very sketchy breeders. A lot of the breeders websites will say that they are expecting a litter of all ruby or all tri's... and I was just wondering how they know? Are there specific colors you breed together to get different litters? Are there specific colors you can't breed together? I know that my Lexie was from a litter of 4 that had a puppy of each color (her mom was blenheim and her dad was b&t). Sprinkles came from a Ruby mom and a Blenheim dad with 3 rubies in her litter and her being the only blenheim. We've researched but very little shows up when we google it and I knew someone on this board would have the answer. It's been an interesting but confusing thing to ponder LOL! Also... are there any colors that are more common than others?
She's looking specifically for a Ruby female and is willing to wait however long it takes to find one from a GREAT breeder. We were just weary of those insisting that they were having a litter of all rubies...
Thanks in advance to anyone who knows the answer.
