    Commonly called a "Maltese" blue. It's a diluted tricolor. The black nose and eyerims tell us that it's not a true chocolate or red. It sometimes happens, but it is a specifically listed fault in the standard.

    Well, it may be a specific fault in the standards, but he is ABSOLUTELY adorable.

    Thanks! I knew someone here is more knowledgeable than most breeders here where I live. This breeder seems very proud of this colour he has produced. The mom in this litter is also a Maltese blue. Dunno why he's breeding her still...

    The puppy might be a fault, through not fault of his/her own, but really a stunning looking sheltie. Love that face.
