    My favourite colour BC is blue/white, but I also like slate merles, ee-red/white or a nicely marked black/white. I like a nice wide blaze that goes all the way through to a white collar the whole way around, white front legs and white upto the hocks on the back legs and enough white on the end of the tail to see it, but not so much that it's nearly half the tail, but I sometimes like mismarks, I also like speckled noses and legs. Merles I prefer to not have big dark patches.
    I haven't got a preference for coat type, I can see the positive and negative in both rough and smooth.
    Ear carriage, I personally like tipped ears or small erect ears.

    Aww thankyou, you're dogs are absolutely stunning, I love to see pictures of them working.

    I prefer rough coated, and ears that stick up and then flop at the top, there's a word for it but I don't know what it is :blush:

    I don't really have a favourite colour. Not keen on mostly whites or merles though. Although the Blue Tri merles are stunning.
    If i had to choose a colour it would have to be a traditional Tri with lots of brown.

    My fave has to be red merle followed by red tri (although i'm not keen on red and white!) and rough/long coated.

    I'm not keen on sable or saddle patterned neither but I love dark tri's and coats with lots of ticking/mottling as well.

    Jed is a tri but his tan bits are very pale and brindled which is clearer on his legs. The majority of him is black.

    I like classically marked, medium coated (not really heavy coated like many NZ and Aus dogs) black and white, tri and red and white.
    I don't like too wide a blaze or for the white to go right over the head and I prefer a full collar.
    That's just an ideal though, in reality I'd be far less picky, health and personality would come way higher on my list if I were choosing a dog.

    I love a rough coated tri, with lots of black and very distinct tan, minimal white. Second I love a classic rough coated black and white.

    This is the sire of my pup that I will be importing in 09.
    Isn't he yummy!

    I'm not a big fan of Merles (even though my last two dogs were Merles) I'm VERY picky about my merling patterns, I like distinct patches with vibrant color. I'm not a fan of the short coated collies either. I wouldn't mind a red tri, but I'm not big on the red and white collies either.

    I'm a bit picky!

    This is Glen, my first ever doggie. He was your standard B/W collie, with whitw collar, chest and 4 white socks. When I came to Orkney and was looking for a new dog, I think I may have been looking unconsciously for a duplicate, but I ended up with this lad, standard B/W again, but very ticked and spotty!

    Of course, like a good malt whisky, one leads to another, so along came the Snorri-dog, almost identical to his bruncle Kali.........

    I went on holiday once to the island of Islay, to visit the distilleries. The perennial question was "Which do you like best?", to which I developed the answer "Whichever I'm drinking at the time!", so I'll have to re-jig it for BC types! I like them all!

    Sorry about there being a pic missing from the above, but for some reason best known to itself, Photobucket is farting about. The UBB code is OK, but Photobucket is not playing the game. Click the link to see the pic.
