Health problems associated with "blue pits"

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

He isn't red, I have a crappy camera. My roommate has a fawn and white that is so yellow and light he looks blonde...maybe blonde, but haven't seen anything on adba or ukc about a blonde color, that when photographed with my camera looks red. Mine is more of a reddish color than the other, but compared to the reds I have seen he doesn't look red. You can't see the blue on his back in either of those pictures...it is very faint. The breeder said it could lighten or darken. They showed us a female and pics of her as a pup and she had the same type line as my boy and now has nothing, also showed us a male and his pup pics and his line is very dark and spread down his sides a little.
Thanks,
Sarah

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

you have a fawn dog. a red dog is a little more golden if we are talking about coat color but a RED/BLUE dog is judged by its nose.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

The female in that picture is not an example of fawn Bluies.The black hairs have nothing to do with it."bluies" is just a distinct blue coloration over a predominant color.Just because a breeder registers one as blue or bluies doesn't mean that it actually is.A lot of your breeders have more of a "hopeful" eye.They've never dealt with true colors and doesn't really care for anything except the $$ that the thought brings.Here is a photo of a fawn bluies pup.

which is exactly what she has onthe underside of her face...but i'm not gonna argue about it.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

Im pretty sure its the nose that whiskey was making refrence to not just the color of the fur.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

There are "different" shades of red. Some reds get so light they look tan, but still have that orange-ish quality. Some get real dark... Your dog is obviously somewhere in between. The red nose is a give-away.:p WB explained what "bluie" meant, if you still don't understand it you can go to the ADBA site, I believe they also explain it. Most fawn bluies or blue fawn dogs have that gray (blue) muzzle & nose and sort of blue points on the fur. Look at WB's pic, the pup has a distinct grayish looking fawn color...

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

The dog looked like a blue fawn to me & the pups looked like blue buckskins. Blue fawn is a bluish tan. Blue buckskin is a buckskin dog that has a blue nose & mask instead of a black one. However, the ADBA has done away w/ the terms blue fawn & blue buckskin & replaced both w/ the term fawn bluie.

According to the ADBA, bluie is defined as "any portion of the coat having a distinct blue or grey cast. This is often associated w/ lighter or blue eyes. A reddish or grey pigment around the eye rims, nose & lips are also identified w/ this color. To indicate this coloring please list the predominate color first."

As for your question TxGal, the blue hairs on your dog is indeed caused by the gene that is linked to CDA. Dilute is directly connected to CDA & dilute is also the allele that dilutes black fur to blue.

Will your pup get CDA? Maybe. CDA can affect any blue phase dog, but it is most common in solid blues.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

That's exactly what I thought when I got my blue.
I swore up and down to myself he was a buckskin Brindle and the breeder just wanted to make money by saying blue- Till I found out He was actually Blue brindle.

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

lol. Too funny.

There are actually 2 type of blue brindle. A true blue brindle or a reverse blue brindle. A true blue brindle is a blue dog w/ light blue stripes. A reverse blue brindle is a dog that is light blue, red or tan w/ blue stripes. True blue brindles are lesser seen than reverse blue brindles.

Here is a true blue brindle, York's Blue Angel:



A reverse blue brindle, Couturier's CH. Blue Max II:

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

blue dogs have numerous health problems, compared to the game breed dogs.
i'm a vet. tech. for about 8 years and these blues come in wit skin problems, cancer,kidney failure,and lots of c-section(pre-natal problems) can't deliver a set of pups.This also depends on what line of blue u have. anyways get a real dog a game dog, he deserves to at that good meal your feeding that mixed up breed for size and color bullshit.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

Right I got a Rev. and was covined "blue are no good" by some ppl then I learned It deppends wher u get it and what lines.
My bro had got him as last resort- He ws picking for color and actually wanted his Solid white sis but the guys kid wouldn't let it go. I actually thought he was Scatterbred for a long time.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

I went to ADBA's site and looked at their color gallery, Jesse lacks the blue muzzle and nose, but has light eyes w/ reddish skin around them and blue color throughout his coat. and looked at the reds and the fawns and both colors as bluies and ABK also posted it here, not sure where ABK found what they found, but it seems to describe my dog, but I am new to this breed.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

thanks for the tip and to others with a useful reply. Ill get a recent picture of him soon. He is blue, but bred from red and blue parents. He has no skin conditions (confirmed with the vet) But this other guy that i KNow has a 7month old UKC Registered blue pit that had a bump removed and its skin seems always flaky.

Here is a pic of him when he was 6 weeks

No unfortunately. We took over tyson. He was orginally my gfs brothers pup, and he got another blue pup. So I really had no choice but to research about blue pits after obtaining the pup.

 

Re: Health problems associated with "blue pits"

Can someone tell my why are these bandogs/blue pits are prone to health problems? I am not doubting any of the information, but just wanna know whats the cause. I have had mutts before with no health problems. Could it be because some of them are inbred?
