geonni banner Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 Interesting that the link (which is to another page on this site) calles the standard B&W markings "Dutch." I've always heard it referred to as Irish spotting. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.... What the authors says about white pups in working bred litters is true though. Most of the people on my puppy list didn't care what pup they ended up with as long as it wasn't the white one, which is the dog I posted earlier in this thread. J. I've heard the standard Irish Spotting configuration called Dutch when applied to rabbits. There is a rabbit breed called Dutch with this coloration.

lance Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Just recently saw this post! My Bandit's Body is white with some minor ticking. Both ears are black with some white strands. 2 black eye patches. one large. one narrow. People usually comment how great his markings are.

bc4ever Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 IMO, there's just nothing more breathtakingly beautiful than a Border Collie, no matter what color they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskerdog (liz) Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I see them in the sporting ring quick a bit (white factored) ... I think they are pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasper7777 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Love the white ones, and any border collie with unusual markings. I can see why people would shy away from breeding predominately white ones— it might raise the chance of completely white dogs or no pigment on nose and eyelids and ears.
