the breeder sent me a photo of belles sister lilly, i cant pull it off my phone cuz my bird ate the data cord, waiting on a new one, and ill show you. she is a tri, with very little gold. has a white blaze down her nose and up her head, and has white on the tips of her ears?

im gonna reput the photo of belle and lillys mom up here, do you think this is a pure sheltie? my friend swears to me she things its a border collie. she looks like a bi black to me, but i dont know anything about colors. im just curious. cuz in certain lighting bell has greyish spotting on her ears, and when i combed her fur, not much to brush yet, the shedding in the comb was grey blue.

just want an opinion, just curious. this is the mom below with the too tight color and very young. she looks sheltie to me. i wonder if the photo the breeder forwarded me was just the light making her ears look white. if anyone wants to email me and give me their cellphone i will forward over the photo i was sent.

I looked though the photos but didnt see any white spots? Not sure what your looking at though...or if im looking at the correct pic even.

As far as white on the ears, it is possible most of the time it shows up in white factored dogs. I had one at birth with a half white ear, as he aged it turned brown, youd never know now that now that his ear was half white
 
oh wow ok. ya the pic of her having white on the ears is on my phone. i was just showing how before she didnt have it. i cant upload it from my phone to my facebook or to an email. sorry about confusing you. what do you think about the mom dog wearing the too tight collar? Does she look like a sheltie to you? and bi black or a tri?
 
The dog in the picture LOOKS like a bi black, but it's hard to tell. There could be some tan patches that are hard to see.

Smudge didn't look like anything close to a sheltie for most of his first year. Some shelties look a little "off", and the more you begin to look at shelties the more you will be able to notice it.

It's ok though. I still love all 30 pounds and 17 inches of him. :biggrin2:

The first two pictures you can see how drastically different he looks. The last two pictures are from when he came home at 6 weeks old. He was so TINY when he came home!

she a sheltie either biblack or tri. Hard to tell by the lighting. Granted not a standard looking sheltie...but you can defiantly tell its a sheltie.
