Such pretty girls.
I wonder if the breeder is aware of the dangers of breeding high white?

They are pretty, but I was wondering the same thing about the high whites. Who seriously breeds them apart from people who are irresponsible and ill-informed like feeder breeders and bybs? :shock:

Whats high white does this mean my new babies are going to be deformed or something else bad...omg! should I be panicing, why do bad things always happen to me?

High whites carry the genetics for Megacolon aka MC. Check out the thread here:

There is some mc info and also a very good article linked in about high whites.

Thanks for the all the high white info...I really appreciate it

I did talk to the breeder and he is aware of high white and he assures me that he has never had any cases of high white in his rattery and he has also assured me that the litter that my baby girls are in come from a long line of mega-colon free dalmations. And he also assures me that he would never breed a litter if it was at risk of such disaster.

So all my panic is over and I have no doubts about getting baby's from this breeder.

Have a great night all :wave:
