Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Can't wait to see the baby named after my human baby! hehehe
EEEE!!! So cute. *love* Not a true albino, it's eyes aren't red, it's just lacking pigment. (sorry for being a geek)
I was thinking that too...as you cans ee some color distinction between the head and blaze. It is very cute, I just hope someone is not purposely breeding it like that, saying it is an albino and then selling it for a lot! :(
they are selling her for a lot (3000!), but i dont think she was planned. their other puppies are "normal".
her eyes are red. i just picked [what i think is] the cutest picture they had of her, which is in the shadow and doesnt show the redness. they're not like mouse red or anything, but then humans eyes arent like that either.

Heh. Her eyes are blue, it's just around her eyes that are red/pink. But what do I know, I'm partly colorblind.
my albino librarian's eyes are the same way.
they look blue and i'm not colorblind, besides she is tinted and not pure white.
they look pink to me, maybe i'm colorblind? hehe.
haha I was just gonna say that she is blond and not albino!
I did my homework, like a good girl. She IS "albino" but not a "true albino". Albino means lack in pigment and this little girl IS lacking pigment, but she's not "true". Just like "red" Bostons are a form of "albino", but it, by no means, makes them "true albino".
If that makes any sense.
If that makes any sense.
ah, that makes total sense.
and i found this somewhere...
"A true albino would have pink eyes as in a rat, but reasearch has found many more albino canines to have an insipid pale blue eye colour.
In breeds where they eye colour is correctly blue they eye rims and nose are still pigmented. In Albinos the eye rims etc, remain pink."
so that would explain the blue eyes.

that is the cutest fucking thing i've ever seen! i'm on a quest now!

Cute, but very fragile looking.
I personally think it's disgusting to charge an absurd amount of money for an albino doggie. Albino animals (just like people) require a lot of extra precautions, and it's ridiculous to charge a butt load for this poor little guy, like it's a rare and desirable trait, or something.
yeah, i personally think she should be discounted, not extra. but shes "OMG RARE!" so thats what people do.
How cute, but she does look terribly frail. I bet she gets some "freckers" and spots as she gets older. Diesel has more now than when we got him... (No, he was not totally white, I am just making a comment) :) I would be worried that things just "weren't right" with her and for that insane amount of dough, I could have several BT pups!
