I only knew these people through my son's best friend, he was their son. Anyway, the mom breeder decided she couldn't keep Princess anymore because she wouldn't stop chewing EVERYTHING up. (we trained her within 2 weeks). Anyway, I took her to the vet and he informed me that she was just a "red" rottie. I did some research on red rotties and found out they are caused by a recessive gene and that they should not be bred, which probably means that her parents should never have been bred as well. To me she is gorgeous and I wouldn't care if she was purple but this is just because she's my girl.
Another one of the RARE RED Rotties. They are a disqualification, love your girl for who she is and be glad to have her.
