Yes certainly Jack & Jill have coloured puppies. It is very wrong of them but it is so. I was thinking only a day or two ago that Jack & Tong might well be tried again, but I thought you were rather set on the Black Pug.
Tong has a deeper Albino ped. than Jack – Jill & that perhaps explains the results so far reached. Let me know when Tong is coming on again & we shall see what to do to bring it off.
I am going to have Usher’s whitest ♂ puppy & hope to cross him with the whitest ♀ I can achieve here. Curiously, so far, most of the whitest I have had have bee ♀. If I remember rightly neither of Mr. Clack’s Heavenly twins is so white as their mother?
I have a bothering journey tomorrow to see 2 more of these Pekingese puppies said to have “scintillating eyes” = Nystagmus. I now know of 4 of these, none of them albinos according to repute, so it must I suppose be some primary nerve business; 1 of them was brother to Jack & Jill, but was coloured; & the other 3 are all related to them.
Yrs
E. Nettleship.’
