I am a sucker for black and white, but any colour as long as it is NOT solid colour is fine with me, I dont find Labs appeling because they only come in solid colour I hate solid colour, particularly on a big dog, Ripley is solid black but he is small and cute, and I love hime to peices but my friend has 2 dogs both solid colour one big one small, I like the small one a LOT more the the large one lol I prefer medium to large dogs though, so any pattern is fine with me lol border collie pattens lol that si what I like lol
