    Colours/ Markings (Bcs)etc

    Hi, thought id do a nice easy going post for everyone to say what colours they prefer & what markings they like!:grin:

    Personally me 1st preferance is Black & white.

    I like them Quite Dark, which a nice Blaze, White Front legs & white short socks Behind. Im not really Bothered about a full collar, but do like a good white Cheast.
    I really do like the Symmetrical too!

    I do like most Tris, i prefer the Tri to be Blond rather than Orange & like "delicate" tri on the eye Brows (other wise i think they look cross) I prefer less white on the tris , trickle of a blaze etc, OR more white, Wider Blaze HUGE ruff etc!

    Merles, i much prefer Blue & Slate to red merles. I like Merles to either be very Dark, "a dirty merle" with big coloured Patches of colour, Or very white Factored, with alot of white on the Face.

    I do like Mismarks & white Faces, But again like them Symmetrical, Ie White face , MUST have eyeliner though & two dark ears but then alot of Colour on the body/



    Mmmmmmmmmmm im not fussy at all then!!!!!:blush: :blush: :?:

    My preference for coat length and colour is a black/white "classically" marked rough coated dog. I also like tri-colours, again rough coated.

    Obviously though, regardless of colour and coat-length, we love them all the same :-D

    Oh crikey, now I'm on the spot. I personally have black and whites, the ole classic. It was my dream to have one. I like the traditional markings, white blaze and collar a must LOL.
    I love the red and whites as well, proper dark conker colour, mind you the Aussie red and white, very rare over here, are stunning.
    With regards merles, I'll be honest, I previously was never keen on them, but over the years I have come to.
    As I show mine (which is black and white dominated) I have to say it's lovely to see the different colours in the ring. I love the variety :D:D:D:D:D:D

    hmm, ive been giving this some thought and despite all the collies we own and know ive decided the perfect collie that i would love to own is blue merle with a half black face and butt, with three black dots on the nose, preferably a dog with a rough coat, medium sized with a lovely temperement, great health and capable of working and cuddling... hmmm... arent i the lucky one!

    Lovely dogs.

    I never mentioned red/white. There are some great red/white dogs around too :)

    Not a huge fan of merles I'm afraid, although have seen the odd one I like.

    I'm actually not that keen on blue merles, even though that's what mine is! :blush: Mind you, he's not a proper blue merle, his coat is actually tinged with a rusty colour. I don't know why.

    Australian Red is LOVE. I would so love to have one one day. I also love Sable, and Red & White, and blue merle tris.

    Here's the best picture that shows the colour, it's a horrible one of him though!

    I actually adore mismarked dogs, especially half-faced dogs, I think they look so unique and gorgeous. Basically, I love all colours but sable and Australian red are my faves.
