that will depend on lines-a lot of times if groomers geta fair number of 'a dog' in their shop it'soften from a local breeder-
When i was grooming the few parti's i had were pretty laid back-moreso then bella (who i'd say is on the higher energy end)
bah my pictures on page 2 have disappeared so here they are again
Bella is a black- but she's got some white through her coat- i consider her a 'badblack' not a blue
Problem with phantoms- if they got cream points you can't see white hairs for blue/silvers at birth

I've bred her to a blue/cream so will be fun to see what we get.
