Interesting piece ; Bullbreedsonline

In the debates section, finally people are asking if the problem really is the 'blue' or if it's in the ego's & interests of those who see themselves as the hierarchy

Quote;

I agree with you Luke, if they are all around where are they and why arnt they turning up in rescues on a regular basis like all other colours ?We had one in rescue , who sadly died but that was old age mainly, and Stephen who used to be on here had one,who never had any problems, apart from that I often wonder if people call them blue to sell them.
And where is the proof these so called diluted dogs have extended skin issues?I have read many a forum and almost on all there are Staffords with problems with their skin,(no blues) so is it really a scare mongering tactic from those who hate the colour?

Funny that

Another reply from Jim 'Housedog', very experienced gent,

I have only seen a handful of blues, 'Some from dark brindle matings' in 30years, all appeared to be in sound physical health' I have also thought are there alterior motives in the seeming demonising of blue dogs/bithces? Is it partly that the apparent statistically intense breeding towards the colour blue is cutting into the puppy selling/production market of the more readily accepted colours? They, 'Blues' certainly have never been a prominent statistical factor in the showring, so cannot be used as a scapegoat in the ever decreasing show attendances. Blue owners, 'Like many other owners' have no interest in showing so being made welcome, or not, is not a factor in my view, they just see showing for what it is, if they are even interested to that degree.

oh après le bleu on trouvera autre chose!! il faut bien arriver à étaler sa "fausse" science sur le chien mais bon ce n'est pas pour le bien du staffie ou peu importe la race d'ailleurs!
