Thank you. Ya I've seen alot of people getting confused with the penciling on the partridge. Ohh that could be fun there are so many colors to choose from now.
Not that I'm aware of.
I leave some on hand just in case of emergency cases.
As long as you are giving her some kind of vitamins it should help just not as fast.
Just do what you can for her and keep an eye.
Your welcome. Theres a chance for it. As BSO looks like a blue dark hiding the partrirdge gene, the gold can leak thru. Depends on what you want. did you want darks or a bunch of different colors? just think of partridge and darks as BBS. blue partridge (blue), partridge (black),splash...
