Boxer Breeders Euthanising White Puppies

[Sheridan]

Isn't flashiness just cosmetic? It's not actually needed for conformation, as I recall from the thread when it first reared its ugly head. It just looks better in the ring.

As a long time boxer breeder, and one who usually owns flashy bitches, I choose the best dog, in terms of health, temperament and bloodlines as the sire. If there are white pups, there are white pups. I have never had a white with any health problems.

I would prefer to breed some white pups than generally ugly, plain or nasty natured or sicko pups.

It is hard to find plain boxer dogs because they are generally not shown, and most are sold as pets and desexed.

And there is genetically plain and genetically flashy, as I explained earlier in the thread. So you use dog which looks plain, but is not, and you get white pups.

I would prefer not to get white pups - but I am not sacrificing the really important things to avoid white pups.
