Also, as a breeder ya darn well know you don't make a dime off these guys, after vet bills, food and lodging ya don't make a darn cent, so anyone thinking this is for money is sadly mistaken. We love the color and hope everyone else would as well. Not everyone wants a dog for the standards, some just like a regular old house pet. Besides, color standards are LRC based not CKC or AKC based, hell they don't even recommend anyone with a silver to register as chocolate a little bit extreme, even though they conform in all other aspects of the breed. LRC won't even recognize a silver yet there are some out there, it can't be proven genetically where it all began but they are here and for some reason LRC won't give them any title whatsoever. Perhaps there membership would decline if Silvers were given there own color due to the backlash of 3 colored breeders...anyways just thinking out loud.
