They don't look to much like Border Collies. I can tell by their color.
Actually you can have Blue Merle border collies too, not red merle though!
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!!Originally Posted by Jessika
Charlie has an unusually long, pointy face for an Aussie, and Jamie's seems a little long but not pointy. They don't look like BCs to me, though, but they probably don't have any champions or anything in their pedigree. Correct me if I'm wrong (and this wasn't meant to be a rude statementOriginally Posted by Jessika
).
Yup I'd noticed that too, but its ok since I didn't get them for show or anything.Originally Posted by .sarah
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.Originally Posted by Jessika
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 merleHere'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.Originally Posted by Orangutango
