Without blue
So I’ve been looking at advertisements for staffies on the net, (as you shouldn’t) and it’s shocking how almost everything has been bred by blue somewhere, usually at least one of the parents.
It appears to be the consequence of the blue being a fashionable colour but genetically speaking, isn’t this a problem having so much dilute in the breed ?

Re: Without blue
In the UK nearly 3/4 of the total Stafford registrations for the last three months were blue litters, or had blue in them.
Yes, it brings health problems, but it's also squeezing out some of the more traditional colour patterns like tiger brindle & pied.
It's quite worrying.

Re: Without blue
I'd say about 90% of the litters I see on my fb groups are blues They are all trying to cash in on the fashion rather than the health of the pup

Re: Without blue
Ah yes, hardly ever see tiger brindles anymore.
Alot of pied are also very very white here too, maybe with the odd spot.
Many “family dog matings” are blue to blue to cash in the colour

Re: Without blue
I've nothing against blues, just fed up with seeing so many & at vastly inflated prices.
