actions regarding the information on this web site. I am not a Veterinarian, nor do I portray myself to be one, so if you have medical questions please call your Vet first and foremost. BLUE CHIHUAHUA Chihuahuas come in many colors, from solid blacks to solid whites, spotted, or a variety of other colors like fawn (tan), chocolate, blue (gray), silver, tricolored (chocolate, blue, or black with tan and white markings), brindle, and merle. And each of these colors vary in shades and tones, as fawn can be a term to describe a tan dog from a very pale cream to a deep (almost red) tan, or any shade in between, and the chocolate coloration can range from a milky light shade of brown, to a deep mahogany brown, to a dark brown that is almost black. Combinations of genetic variance that produce kind of grey that appears to have a tinge of blue in it. You can get a blue Chihuahua from a black and tan, a chocolate, or even a fawn parent. Obviously, to get a blue Chihuahua, the parents must have a recessive blue gene in their heritage, even if it is some way back in the line. Blues and chocolates are DILUTES! Breeding two dilutes together will negate any full expression of color in your future litters!!! It can also double up on other hidden defects on genes that link to certain colors. BLUES are NOT "rare". A very special thanks to www.chihuahualoving.com for the use of this information. |
