I think we have talked about this colour before but I find colour so interesting! I have only seen one in the flesh (although he was black not blue), a dog called Xsora's Spectacular Bid who, I believe, was American lines. Lorena Grisoli used (I assume his litter brother) Xsora's Secreto and produced ???what colours I don't know. I think Loroli Count Alex of Carmodian was one of that litter (Can Beejay help here??). Can't remember which bitch but I would think out of her Sunsalve Fashion Star who was by Ch Carmodian Tawny Knight x Lowglen Songbird. I know there was one black/tan dog in that litter who went to France and was made up.Liz Third said:He was registered "blue and tan", as was his sister. (The litter consisted of 6 all this colour.) Maybe blue and fawn would have been a better description, but the blue part was a very dark steely blue, and the distribution was similar to any black and tan marked breed. His nose was black.Judy said:In my database I've got Bruntsfield Cloudberry as being "heavily blue sabled" I don't know where I got that from though. He looks almost liver coloured in the photo. Can you remember what colour his nose was Liz. He's very striking.
His parents were Bruntsfield Jelly Roll. a red fawn with blue mask, and Bruntsfield The Phantom, a blue /fawn and white particolour.(She was one of a litter of two, the other was the same colour as Cloudy).
Unfortunately he was only used at stud once, to a brindle bitch and she had one brindle puppy. As far as I know none of the others were bred from, certainly not the two bitches as I kept in touch with them and they were in pet homes.
Are any of these dogs/lines behind Cloudberry Liz???
