They'll probably magically appear one day, lol. You know, because an Aussie will be crossed with them and they'll breed it back in with a border collie and keep the color and then VIOLA: RED MERLE BCS!!

Oh, and welcome! Hehe got a little sidetracked on the other conversations in this thread! So glad you rescued your babies! There's a race-track in the next county over and one day I plan to rescue one of the retired racers

).

Yup I'd noticed that too, but its ok since I didn't get them for show or anything.

I haven't received Charlie's papers yet but his background is questionable (though I did see his grandparents) and Jamie's I have no clue since I adopted her from another lady. I do have papers for Jamie, though.

edit: Charlie also has a "crook'd" nose too LOL which was a dead give-away that he isn't up to par with the breed standard

Charlie -- I love him the best because he makes those wierd faces. Like the one in your current pet cam picture. He's just freakin hilarious!

And those ears!! I've never seen an Aussie with ears quite like that! He's a breed all his own, hehe.

**Jessika** · 11-05-2005, 10:21 PM

LMAO I know! I think its partly because his lips are half-black so it makes him look dopey, you know? (another part that isn't breed-standard cause blue and blacks are supposed to have black lips and eye rims).

edit: aww we've "taken over" greyt_grey's intro thread I kinda feel bad hehe

BUT DON'T WORRY YOU ARE WELCOMED and greyhounds aer beautiful!!!

Jessika, Border Collies do come in red merle also. A friend of mine has a 10 year old female red merle

Here's a link to a page full of them aswell.

Anyway, back to topic....

Welcome to Pet Talk Greyt_Greys! I love Greyhounds, they're such an elegant breed. My name is Devan and I have 4 dogs; Winston and Keeva (Doberman Pinschers), Tango (Border Collie/Toller mix) and Tia (mini Dachshund). I hope you decide stick around. I'd love to see some pics of your beautiful Greys

Really?? See, I read that they did at a book when I worked at PetCo, but then after doing some research online I learned differently and since more evidence on the net supported otherwise I believed it LOL I know red merle BCs look a lot like red merle aussies with their tails intact.

Thank you guys! I am hoping to take some pictures of them today. We are going to our local park today because it's actually pretty warm today. Josh and Kim hasn't been out for two days because of rain
