Colour dominance - Staffs

I wonder what Stafford owners think of the seeming dominance of Blacks (barely brindles) in the showring? Do you think soon the old colours will go into such a decline you'll never see them again?

Mitch you have a gorgeous tiger brindle, but do we see enough of them in the showring/streets?I think not myself.

And I know I have blacks almost brindles. But I prefer (sorry my two girls) brindles. OBVIOUSLY the health, conformation, teprament of the dog comes first BUT colour is very much a matter of personal choice>

So whats your favourite colour? And should there be more of them?

PS Edited to say I have not put this in heated debates, because we are all grown up

I dont own staffs but i do myself like the red and blue

I agree blacks do dominate the ring, but as you said if the health, temperment is top notch who cares

There should be more of a range in coat colour in staffs

Ever since we lost our old (black) staff Dolly (over 10 years ago), I had made plans for my 'retirement pup' who would be fawn with a black mask and be called Sybil!

Plans often don't work out. I think I would still be waiting for a fawn now....they're just not fashionable, I gather.

But, as you say Kazz - the colour really doesn't matter.

Although I do like all colours I must hold my hand up and say I do actually prefer the black and black/brindle best of all only next to a really nice white :smt023

I like the Irish Blue... is that the name?

I see one at the Ed Reid show earlier in the year it was gorgeous

Is the blue actually allowed in the ring! ????

Are white ones prone to the skin issues like EBTs?

I like Black's but with brindle nothing nicer than seeing the brindle on a summers day - as you know Dinah's Mom. Next a tiger brindle like Mitch's Rio.

And no fawns aren't popular these days apart from to those trying to breed the money spinning blue's.

i prefer the darker staffs and brindlem, but i got told the reason there isnt as many reds is cause there was more of them with the heriditry cataracts, i was told it by a breeder who owns two red staffs dont know how true it is but thats what i waS told

Black/black brindle shines up nicely doesn't it!
