Why did my puppy's coat color change?

The black may stay black or have white ticking or even change to Blue (silver). The white may stay white or have ticking of black or silver. it is hard to predict how they will change.
Why do Biewer cost so much?
Buying a quality puppy from reputable breeder is not cheap.
We all want a deal, but we all know you get what you pay for. A poorly bred puppy may cost more in veterinary bills later.
Their are several reasons why the price of a puppy from a good breeder is more.
A top breeder has the best veterinarian care. Many breeders spend thousands and thousands of dollars a year on vet care. Yearly health exams including DNA health screening and OFA Screenings, emergency care, blood work, dental cleanings, pre-natal exams, pregnancy x-rays, emergency c-sections, vaccinations for each puppy plus some kind of bloodwork. Bloodwork maybe bile acid or a full liver panel, so pups may see vet up to three times before they go to their forever homes.
Not to mention the money that goes into top-notch breeding stock to start their breeding program. High quality diet, all the supplies needed to keep and care for their kennel, Hours and hours spent caring for the dogs and pups. A good breeder spares no expense or time!
I personally only breed my girls once a year. I carefully screen potential buyers to ensure my puppies are placed in only the best loving homes. I am available before and after puppies go home with their new family.
This is a passion for me. I will never become rich from breeding, most likely never break even.
I love this breed, my hope is to in-better the breed with my practice and to share the love!
