    as far as I am concerned restricting breeds to certain colours is wrong. period. colour has very little to do with what any breed was bred for, BCs colours are restricted to only a few and are not allowed to be mostly white, the conformation world came up with a bogus explaination for it, saying that mostky white BCs dont command the sheeps respect, which is a load of bull, some of the top herding lines in the world are mostly white. they also come in EVERY single colour and markings avaliable in dogs, no colour should be bred for or bred away from, because it has zippo to do with working ability.

    I am on the working side of the fence for all breeds, anything that does not affect working ability is NOT nessassary, but if it inhibates working ability(like super long and fluffy coats, shorts muzzles and overly stocky builds) then it needs to be bred away from and avoided.

    Did you read through this thread? These dogs are most likely bred with Weimeraner. If they are mixed breeds, do you still support it?
