Thanks Robin.. don't worry! You'll get to see lots and lots of pictures as they grow!! and start being messy and loud... and even cuter than they are now.... smooth babies are the cutest pups ever...

well... in my case... I´ve seen blue eyes to be dominant (at least in my 20 yrs with them )... from a bieyed mom and brown eyed dad... I got 80% blue eyed 15% bieyed and 5% brown eyed...(even dark is considered dominant)

out of bieyed mom (from brown eyed parents) and blue eyed dad (from bieyed and brown eyed parents) I got 90% blues 8%bieyed and 2% browns

also just as example... in a litter of 6 three were blues, 2 bieyed, and one brown eyed...

I´ve never seen brown or bieyed predominate among the outcome....ok.. I´ve seen it but in other lines...and have noticed some even advertise blue eyes as rare and I´m like ¿rare?... to me they are not!!....

but it could well be because blue is almost always there.... and in Collies is mostly only in merles...

Awwwww, hello, Kelsey and the babies! And Dodger, how nice to meet you! Spiritwind, could you give them all a pet for me, please.

Thats very interesting! I never knew that about Huskies!.. Yes.. with Collies, the blue eyes are the result of the merle gene... if the merling doesn't affect the eyes, the eyes will be brown... or if it only affects part of the eye, you will get eyes that are brown with blue fleckings. a lot of times in the blues when the puppies go in for eye checks (usually between 5-8 wks of age) the optho will tell you if they see merling in the eyes... in the case of a puppy who just has small flecks that are hard to see from just an normal person looking at the eyes...

In Collies, only merles will have the blue eyes... tri-colors and regular sables will never have blue eyes. Dodger is a Sable Merle so thats why he has a blue eye. When he was a tiny baby he was marked up like a red merle aussie (only sable)... I'll have to look thru pics and see if I can find any of him at that age... but as he grew the merling over his body faded.

Hi Spiritwind! Your collie litter is just beautiful. Wish you were in Southern California so I could come see them. I visited your lovely website and your dogs are beautiful, especially Kelsey who is absolutely stunning! The puppy's pedigree is very nice, also. Are you a CCA member? By the way, I thought I'd let you know that your 'About Us' page isn't working. Thanks for sharing your photos!

They are so adorable!!!! Smoochies to them from me please!!

[AdoreMyDogs]

They are just too adorable! Kelsey's brother was sure an amazingly gorgeous little boy! I sure wish I could give those little darlings some smoochies

Aww, what cute little pups! It must be fun to watch them those first few weeks. Lots of work too, I imagine. Anytime you want to give one away, I will take any color with any eye color too. I am not fussy. I dont' think I would like to keep ahead of the long haired ones so maybe a smooth one would be best.

Ooh, sable merle is stunning. I'm partial to odd-eyed dogs, the Dalmatian bitch I had for 5 months had one blue and one brown.
