did not know about the rose ears lol but all I meant by aussies being show dogs and BCs being working dogs is that far more aussies are show dogs, then working dogs, as opposed to BCs who are far more working dogs then there are show dogs. makes sence in my head anyway lol. as for colours I like the pinto and the all black best, and I like the working style better, they are leaner and not full of hair and bulk, I dont like that in any breed of dog.
