Thank you for your input! Your comments are quite helpful!

We did try taping Spoilt's ears (poor baby....looked like a mutant!) and eventually they did come up. And boy did they!! Those suckers are HA-YOOGE!

He does have liner around the eyes but his coat has that strange greyish tint to it. His litter mate was a fluffy. These were the only two of the litter that were not normal coloring etc. I remember talking to someone here once that told me about his eyes, saying that they may be slightly sensitive to light but that his eyes being blue was not why they called him a bluey. So I knew that much.

The only thing I was told to look for was the hip dysplasia which I was told was unfortunatly common in this breed. The breeder would not give me a written guarantee on Spoilt though as she did with Rotten because she herself had no knowledge specifically with issues that may or may not occur with Blueys. She had not had any before and she said she knew they were that color due to the recessive gene, but did not know if it resulted in other abnormalties. (I didn't care about the guarantee really, he was a beautiful pup and even if something were wrong with him I would not give him back.)

I also knew the popping in his hind quarters would not be related to his coloring but as I said above, the hip dysplasia thing had crossed my mind when I heard it. But again, he does not act like it is painful or anything. It certainly is not slowing him down!

Rotten's wheezing .... I guess you could say backwards sneezing. It normally will happen when he is lying on his back and it is like he can't catch his breath or something. Big wheezing noises. I will turn him over and it is like he catches his breath after a bit. He also has one weepy eye. Don't know why it weeps, just does. He was a year old last October so maybe he will still grow out of it.

I like coming to this site because there is just so much to learn here really. I have checked with my vets about these issues and they ascertain that the boys are fine. I think I keep a close eye on them too because of losing my MilkDud. (I posted in the rainbow section about losing him.) I guess I am worried of losing these little fellas too. Technically Rotten is mine and Spoilt is my husbands....but they LUV DA MOMMY! Scott just tells everyone that Spoilt is SUPPOSED to be his, but they both really belong to me!
