I know little about the breed in fact only met my first one very recently but do they come in lilac ? Is it rare ? Us it really worth 16k ? Just reading news item in stolen pup

Short answer is NO

That's what I thought Dill ! but as I said very unknowledgable on the breed
very sad pup has been stolen and some while ago now. I do hope he has ended up someone sensible but fear not :(

I googled the coloured and its amazing what colours are being advertised and for large sums.

oh dear. such a shame. I must say the dog I met if he is typical of the breed has the most wonderful personality not to keen on other dogs but that may be down to lack of socialisation he is a rescue. very loving and funny but their health problems scare the life out of me or maybe I am doing them an injustice
thank you for clearing that family conversation up
