My 'mini-Border-Collie'....

Not to derail the thread, but I thought Cryptic was when the only way you could knew it was a merle and not a bi-black/tri was a small merled or patch somewhere. Like, it's just not obvious that it's a merle. IDK. The merling on his face and then the strip across his back makes him seem less "cryptic" to me. However, I'm not a Sheltie exhibitor, judge, expert, etc.

Now back on track... Missy get's mistaken for a border collie all the time. All you can really say when they argue is, "I have the pedigree that shows without a doubt he's a Sheltie, would you like to talk to the breeder?"

I'm with you on the cryptic- means it's hard to tell that the dog is a merle.

Jocu gets BC sometimes- he is longer than the other shelties and he is black and white so I can understand the confusion:winkgrin:
 
How do I add a picture? I have a cryptic blue that I can show you. He looks like a tri color with lots of gray. People think he's a really old dog.
 
Great looking puppy, looks like he has some attitude also :cool: As to the limited brown check Sca in my gallery. He has less brown that almost any tricolor I have seen. He is also built all wrong. But he is all mine and fantastic :)

Unless you plan on doing confirmation or are discussing it just ignore the 'experts' as most aren't. Pet your guy and have a blast mayhem.

You'll have to upload your picture to a photo sharing site like Photobucket or Google Pictures then post the link. The other option is to become a Premium Member of Shetlie Nation; the ability to directly add pictures to the site is one of the perks.
