Meet Pinky and Snowy, Two Albino Boston Terrier pups.

I've set them up their very own page on the site because they are totally unique, I do not yet know if that is good, or bad, to those who chase unique no matter what, it's good, to the purist of the holy to standard only breeder,  it's bad, VERY bad. 

 For me, if they have no other problems away from a sensitivity to strong light, and if DNA tests are as good as they should be by parentage alone, these pups should be fit, if they are that, I will decide what to do then.

I like different, but not at the cost of serious health issues that are caused by albanism alone and are not just breed related. 

Given that many now live much more indoors than out, and so do their dogs, the light sensitivity alone is not much of an issue, only time will tell.

I'm pretty awful at updates ! They are now adults, extensive  DNA tests are clear for over 60 diseases, the only undesirable trait is the DVL2 gene which is inevitable in a pure Boston, their non standard physique should protect not only them but their offspring from ever being unduly affected by the gene.

They have matured into the most robust Bostons I have even seen, and I have been breeding more robust Bostons for many years, so that is saying something.
​Snow White has pups, all nice normal colours as they should be, all passed their checkup as did Snow White. She was bred to Buttons, a very high Boston content Toybulldog who carries only one copy of DVL2, as do some of the pups,
Several traits I suspect is linked to the Albino  gene, is very open nostrils, and soft ear tips, I can only find a few Albinos on the web but all have those traits, All of course are sensitive to strong light, both eyes and skin, they can see perfectly well, they just do not like strong light. They do not have the  syndrome that can cause white dogs to be deaf, no albino does, their genes are different. If any albino is deaf, it is not from the white head genes.

Longer backs, muzzles, legs and moving tails all mean they are far less likely to suffer any ill effects form DVL2 . Although their sensitivity to strong light means they are best kept indoors except for early morning and evening, this does not apply to their normal coloured pups, yet it appears so far that the one albino gene the pups carry is enough to give them nice, open nostrils and excellent breathing. along with only one copy of DVL2 in most in this first litter.
