....because if your prospective dog is not the offspring of two healthy parents, it will love you less.
So either you really didn't mean that their are other more important factors to consider & in fact were stating that the colour is absolutely insignificant, or you did a horrible job of expressing what you were in fact trying to say...

It was just a quick flippant post, which is why I alluded that colour was superficial in the grand scheme of things but didn't go in depth.
I suppose, I should have said, "Colour is a characteristic of superficial importance when choosing a puppy, please ensure you research the breeder in-depth and consider the bloodlines of the parents, experience of the breeder, and have a veterinary consult done, and take that information into consideration as well. Irresponsible breeders are a rampant problem, even among purebred breeders, and they often produce unhealthy puppies. In fact, it can be an even more significant issue with purebred puppies because of the narrow genetic pool magnifying the likelihood and severity of problems. I'm not implying that you have not taken those factors into consideration, but it is extremely common for people to focus solely on superficial characteristics when looking for a puppy, so I wanted to quickly point that out just in-case you were unaware."
Didn't mean to offend anyone, I don't have any inclination or motivation to do that.
I've spent a lot of time trying to find a very specific, very rare colour pattern myself.
