martiou, I am not taking this lightly or taking you for idiots. But, while Thalia and Sibir are DNA-proved to be the parents of the red pups, than it follows that their parents are in question, and that is already an acusation of an individual breeder. The question is how to prove or disprove it, and that is hard... As I suggested, DNA typing of siblings and half-siblings, as well as Galiba, might show the level of relatedness and answer some questions. Meanwhile, looking into the allelle causing the color might or might not, clear it up a bit.
If it would be shown that both Sibir and Thalia are mixes and not pure CSW, than it of course would be a big scandal. Either way, red color is not accepted by CSW standard, so even if the two parents were proved to be pure CSW, their carrying the trait for red should be noted and kept in ming during breeding, and the red pups should not be used for breeding at all...
