Last week, the image of the dog Shamrock went viral on social networks, who a few seconds after being born, It disconcerted the owners because of the green tone of its fur.. This strange color set off alarms, since it did not match the pastel yellow or white, which Golden Retriever dogs usually have. The truth is that as the days went by they found a logical explanation for this phenomenon and revealed how it is currently.

DeBruler noted that around noon on March 3, Shamrock came into this world and that when he saw the fur that covered her, he was shocked by the intensity of it, unlike his previous experiences with Golden Retrievers. “She just shines.”he mentioned about those first days.
Carole explained that Shamrock was stained in utero by biliverdin, a bile pigment that mixed with amniotic fluid; therefore, it caused this bright lime green color and then just bright.
The first clip that the breeder uploaded to her social networks with the green dog surpassed eight million views and garnered thousands of comments in favor of the tenderness that such a pet provoked. For her part, the American pointed out that the rest of Shamrock’s siblings were also born with small greenish pigmentations which disappeared immediately.
Why is it called Shamrock?
