Guest Anonymous Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 i saw this dog on television and it had to be the most gorgeous dog i have ever seen...but i am not sure of the breed. it might be a border collie...but in the pictures of them i have seen on the web, they are all black and white. this dog i saw had reddish-brown fur, about as long as a border collie's fur and the dog itself was the same size as a border collie. also, it had almost white eyes, i dont know if they were really light green or blue, but the were beautiful. so if anyone knows exactly what breed this is...maybe you could post a link to some pictures for me...i would very much appreciate it, thanks so much!

DogPaddle Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Border Collies can be black and white, brown and white or tricolour. They might also be all black, all brown or all white but that might be a fault or have related health concerns - not sure. The brown might look red/brown. The dog you saw might have been a Brittany Spaniel - see [url]http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/brittany.cfm[/url] or [url]http://animal.discovery.com/guides/dogs/selector/profile.jsp?id=1630[/url] or an Australian Shepherd of unusual colour - see [url]http://www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/ausshep.cfm[/url] or [url]http://animal.discovery.com/guides/dogs/selector/profile.jsp?id=1020[/url] please bear in mind there are concerns with Australian Shepherds with unusual colouring and blindness and/or deafness please research if you are planning on getting one. There is someone here who knows more about it, post a thread about Australian Shepherds and Blindness or Deafness or maybe double merle? if you need more info.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 Or a Nova Scotia Duck tolling Retreiver??? Their a light redish brown and have the same sort of coat as a BC, and I think the same size, and I'm pretty sure their eyes are usually light colored... [img]http://www.pets.ca/breedprofiles/a/retriever-novascotia/r7.jpg[/img] Did the dog have any white on it? Or any other colors? Did it have a tail? If no tail then it's more likly an Aussie... Most Red Border Collies (like the one I had, but she was part Aussie :wink: ) have white on their bellies and feet, and chest, and somtimes snout.

Guest Anonymous Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 how's this for starters? :) [url]http://www.gis.net/~shepdog/BC_Museum/Permanent/BC_Looks_Health.html[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KP Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 [url]http://www.bordercollies.nl/dispimage.shtml?img=etfe776a[/url] This is about all I found.... Liver colored border collie... If this isn't what it looked like then I also think its a Toller. (Nova Scotia Duck tolling Retreiver or NSDTR) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouseatthebusstop Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 [img]http://dl.dogomania.com/pics/9/Thegang.jpg[/img] a group of BC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_Kat Posted January 3, 2004 Share Posted January 3, 2004 [img]http://k9orac.com/k9agility/shows2002/ace_balmoral.jpg[/img] This is Ace, one of the dogs that is in our dog club and one of the doggies that Meg hangs with. He is Red and white, not brown and white. I have loads of pics of various red and white, chocolate and whites that I know but i'm still in Netherlands on my BF's computer so I will try remember to get them off my hard drive when i get back. My next BC I would like to be a chocolate red tri colour. Stunning colours but very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doglistener Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 It could be a Welsh Springer Spaniel as it fits the description.
