***************************
I suppose the same reason a Dalmation is supposed to have spots and a Boxer
must have the white chest and feet, and Burmese Mt. Dog has three colors
and an Irish Setter is red.
Because the "founding Father" of the Breed and Parent Club felt it best......<G>

Does that color affect the ability of the > dog?
**************************************
Would we want Dalmations to become whites because some "like" it?
Should Irish Setters now change and be allowed white feet because a few think
it cute?
I don't think any of the acceptable colors in ANY Breed Standard "affect the
ability"
of the dogs. It does however define every single Breed!! Someone will
likely
prove me wrong...but doesn't every Breed Standard have some color specifics?

********************************
I didn't know that blacks were frowned upon? I just thought it was so hard to
find a GOOD black?? I have a couple.....I did not know they were now in
demand???
