So I went to the Hostess store today to get my husband's sandwich bread & munchies. I am friends with the clerk there & she asked me about "silver" pit bulls. She said her friend was bragging about the "silver" pit bull her bitch just whelped & how it was worth $5000.

I told my friend that silver is just a fancy name for blue & a dog is only worth what someone will pay for it. I also added there are TONS of blues who were homeless in shelters & rescues across the country & added how my husband & I even rescued a blue & white dog that was skin & bones & had been dumped on the street!

I also mentioned how I have seen people a dog shows with litters of blues they had priced at much, much less then $5000 & they could not sell a darn one. I also told her that we have a blue dog ourselves & we paid $200 for him ADBA registered & all. She about fainted. She also lol @ her friend!

Grrrr. I hate this whole "blue is rare so it's worth thousands" thing. You would have think that crap would have died out by now. I gave my friend my phone number & said she could pass it on to her friend if she wanted to. She said she would. Hopefully I can do a little education.

Whew. OK sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest.

Blessings ...
