Rare Color Puppies
INTRODUCING OUR NEW LINE OF RARE COLOR PUPPIES
CHOCOLATE LIVER BABIES
Liver will not have any black hairs or pigmentation. All liver colored Shih Tzu’s must have a chocolate nose, eye rims, lips and paw pads. Eye color will be green or copper. Liver is a recessive gene. Both parents must carry the gene in order to produce Liver colored offspring.
BLUE BABIES
Blue are also known as a Maltese Dilute. It is a dilute of the color black and will not have any black hairs or pigmentation. Some hair may look black but it will actually be a very dark gunmetal color. All blue colored Shih Tzu’s must have a blue/gunmetal color nose, lips, eye rims and paw pads. Eye color will be grey blue or light golden hazel. Blue is a recessive gene. Both parents must carry the gene in order to produce Blue colored offspring.
DOBIE BABIES
The "Dobie" marking comes from a recessive gene known as the "agouti" gene.[Note: Tan markings were added to AKC approved markings for the breed in 2010 through our efforts to demonstrate to AKC the nature of those markings.] Both parents must carry the gene in order to produce "Dobie Marked" Offspring.
White
White or Isabella (cream) white colored Shih Tzu are Extreme Piebalds. The piebald is a recessive gene. Both parents must carry the gene in order to produce solid white colored offspring.
