Breedia Dog Forum
I'm inclined to agree with Ailsa on this one. The domestic dog has evolved from the wolf over many thousands of years and latest research on this...
Ah right thanks :lol:
Thanks for the clarification. I had assumed you meant the KC :-)
I can see your point here and in no way am I suggesting that dogs of unknown parentage should be registered on the KC breed register without further...
I've found one page with some good photos of double and single merles. Not the one I was thinking of but it does show the typical lack of skin...
That's unbelievable it was deliberate! What a sad start to life and what a lucky boy now. Which one is this BTW?
I'm not good at explanations but I'll try:grin: When I first tried to guess if he was double merle MM I was basing it purely on obsevation of his...
If it really is merle then yes it is, but I haven't seen it :grin: Yep, it's normal for pink patches to colour in a bit, also the white markings...

I prefer the less specialized (in terms of breeds) lists as I'm on far too many genetics lists already. HerdingK9color [EDIT the url. Oops...
Nope still can't see any evidence of merling. Not disagreeing with Strain, he's obviously seen something I haven't:? Both look to me to be...
Thanks Patch :grin: This is something I have a particular interest in. The Merle locus has now been sequenced so if there was ever any doubt, it...
Interesting Patch! The ones you say are double merles..... do you have any close up shots of the heads? I don't see any evidence of this on B &...
I'm with you on this Snorri:-) ....and more to the point, the International Sheep Dog Society refers to them as Border Collies. But I suppose the KC...
I believe at the present time, the KC allows registration of ISDS dogs into the breed register so allowing new bloodlines to be added. If this was...
Hi Patch Are we not though seeing different types emerging in this breed with a divergence between the show bred ones and working? The WSDs I...
I know very little about it, except that it's a registration system run by Ed Reid, the person who used to advertise Pit Bulls in the Our Dogs paper...
I've never owned a smooth coated dog but reading this, it almost makes me want to! Sounds like Missy is in heaven:grin:
He's a beautiful, handsome boy :-)
