BCB, they look just like two of my Aussie/Border Collie mixes. The black and white looks like my Thunder and the blue merle like Thunders sister Collar[flower]. The BW takes after his mother (my RB CheekyBitch) and the BMerle like my DaddyDog Badger (a bit anyway). They are beautiful, smart to a fault but a handfull if you don't have the energy. NOT for everyone. Luck of the draw perhaps. Everyone that's ever met Badger (JenLuckenback & her hubby Charlie, the mayor and her hubby Paul etc. at a PA PT meeting) will tell you that my Badger is the sweetest, most loving dog ever. Sorry about Joey, but as everyone knows.. doG works in mysterious ways
