Since When???

Since when has Lilac been included into the breed standard for staffords?

Apparently the ad states pups carry blue,lilac and chocolate genes

There is a unqiue red/honey dog with a chocolate nose dear oh dear do these people read the breed standard

The ad is under 7 days so I can't contact them unfortunatly.

I have owner Staffies for the past 22 years, and never ever come across a lilac, makes you wonder how they got the colour!!!

Snap,we have had the breed nearly 20 years,never heard of one let alone seen one.

Well I got my first Staff in 1976 or was it 1975.....memory going and I have never heard of Lilac.
I imagine a diluted version of blue could be called Lilac..........?????????? there is no chocolate either.

Blimey Kazz your going back a few years
I was thinking maybe another term for blue or washed out dilute blue.

How are you ?

These people obviously dont care about the breed standard or they would know !!

We;ve had the same in Mals unfortunately, pups registered as 'Orange', 'Apricot', 'Chocolate', 'Brown' (ALL classed as RED) !!

Sounds like an M & S advert, this really is the era of stupid people doing stupid things with poor long suffering dogs. One begins to worry that this century may be the end of healthy dogs as it seems the only thing most people are breeding for are the cosmetic and the result is beginning to show in badly constructed unhealthy dogs. Responsible breeders must be thinking they are fighting a loosing battle.

Thats all I can think of diluted blue sort of thing. I am fine thanks for asking, Sal is fine too which is more important.

And boxers we have seen ads for for choclate, and stripey but I think that must have meant brindle.xx

a stripey boxer....now theres a thought!
