Well Vinnie has health tested parents and came with papers, though didn't know til coming here blue on blue matings are not good.
I have been lucky so far with him and I paid £650 for Vinnie.

thanks Hayley , just had a text back and the both parents have been health checked , puppy comes with papers , but parents are both blue

that's a shame, but you could be setting yourself up for CDA

whats CDA hayley

Do be careful as this can cause CDA as Hayley has said. I didn't know any of this at the time of getting Vin but as said guess I have been lucky.
This link is pics of Vin from pup to now but don't go by him as again a lucky one so far

Colour dilution alopecia

ah ok thanks , nice pics Inez thanks he looks great

well I might have a chance to go and see the puppys, so what im looking for is the parents to see if they have the problem

this is him , opinions please

you won't tell from looking at the parents, the gene comes from mating two blue parents together

ok so no checks then ,

am afraid theres nothing to check, it's pot luck basically whether the pup carries the gene for CDA

ok thanks what do you think of the pic

looks a very cute pup

Looks cute, but I have never had a staffy puppy and know nothing, my Pixee is a rescue. Good luck with it.

I would always rescue so not very helpful sorry.

well spoke to the people who have him ive asked all the questions ive found on here , and all were positive replies , so going to see him tomorrow

And the parents colour?

Very cute   

both blue Hayley and both there with the pupps, the owner did say it wasn't a planned litter, the mum is 3 and its her 1st litter of which she had 7 pupps

I strongly recommended you don't buy a pup from a blue blue mating as you won't know if CDA is present for months, very cute pup but can you watch him suffer if he gets CDA. Xx

no I wouldn't want to see that at all , ill look at both parents tomorrow and make my mind up .
it seems to be a hit and miss subject anyway , a lot of breeds have it , where it could develop

It seems that you have already made up your mind, despite these guy's best advice. But the others are right, you won't know anything from simply looking at the parents so really you're just playing russian roulette in regards to health problems. Understand that it's exciting but there's no need to rush! A good non blue/blue litter will come along at some point soon i'm sure. I've only seen blues with problems in rescue, and they have been coming in by the bucket load Of course, there are probably just as many healthy happy ones in loving homes, but I wouldn't risk it personally, and shame on the breeders for doing so. They're gorgeous dogs and I can see the appeal, but only from a decent, well researched breeding.

that's where your wrong im very fussy in everything I do , and I do my research whenever I can , didn't go and see the dog as a few questions I asked late last night to the owner wasn't what I wanted so I didn't go

next question where are the breeders with black and blue , appreciate any contact details

Glad to hear that you decided against, do hope the pups are homed properly though. I tend not to get involved in breeding, but there is a "breeders chat" section on the forum where I'd imagine you'll get more advice

ill have a look as said don't mind travelling for the right dog

Have a look on champ dogs, glad to here you never went ahead

ok Hayley , im a fussy sod , put a question over in the breeders section , ill have a look at that site .
thank you. I am listening

Have put the link for you Peter in breeders section   

thanks Inez ill have a look

If you look in breeders section Peter Hayley has found a fab litter   

Alternatively if you are aware that it's a possibilty you will be better prepared to deal with it.   

there no cure for CDA

I know Steve, but they're out there and somebody has to look after them

Spot on and I hope they find forever homes with loving people that are willing to overlook this.
