juliepoudrier Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Twist is a more obviously white-factored dog (giveaways of white-factored dogs are white up the inside of the hind leg/stifle area and white that goes across the rump, the latter of which you can just see in some of the photos here): (photo by Christine Koval) This one shows the white stripe across the hip region: J.

lovesbc's Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 This is my wonderful boy, Rocky. He's almost entirely white, aside from his masking on the face. The short guy on the raft with him is his younger brother, Sport. There's a year difference between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz P Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Believe it or not, this red dawg IS white factored. He has two white spots on his back about the size of peas. You have to know where to look for them, otherwise you would never guess. He gets sun bleached and the white hairs are not noticeable. His sire and dam are both white factored.

J.E.S Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Both these dogs are white factored. In the second pic you can see the small white "racing stripe" on the rear of the smooth coat dog, Reign. Seth's (the rough coat) Father was white factored and his mother was almost all black with minimal white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat's Dogs Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 hmmmm. Some BC people say that Dazzy is because of the white tip on her right ear (a.k.a her "up" ear) but it is really small. None the less, they say that she carries (and shows) the white factor. Not 100% sure though: Ear close up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prosperia Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hmmmnnn, just out of curiosity. What about Jenna? She grew out of most of the white on her ear, but you can still see it peaking out on her rear end. And a picture of her as a pup. You can see the white on her ear.

Pipedream Farm Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Is there white fur running up the inside of her back legs (it looks that way by the photo)? Is there any (even 1 or 2 hairs) white fur on her back, especially over the hips? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 White head is not the same thing as white factored. A dog can be white factored and be totally white except for color on it's head, especially the ears. Or, the dog can be white headed with a solid black body. Combine the two and you can get a BC with absolutely no color anywhere on its body. Dazzy is only white headed while Jenna looks like she is both.

Allie Oop Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 This is an interesting thread (especially to those of us who don't have too much knowledge on genetics). I suppose a tri-color BC can be white factored? Allie has a "bride-of-frankenstein" stripe behind her right ear, a lot of white fur on her rear and white running up the entire front of both stifles.

Pipedream Farm Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Look closely at her back legs to be sure it's not actually light tan running up her back legs. I really don't think the stripes on the ears,etc. has anything to do with white factoring, but I could be wrong. Mark's Jody is marked similar to your dog, but she's not white factored because it's actually a light tan on her back legs except for her paws. Any color border collie can be white factored depending on how the white is distributed. Renee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladybug1 Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Toby has a white stripe across his back. Would that make him white factored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Oop Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Just out of curiousity, I took Allie out in the sunlight to examine her legs, and the stifle hair and rear hair appears to be very, very white, not light tan (although she has tan marks on all four of her legs, with white paws - she's actually very symetrically marked all the way around). Renee, thanks for posting a picture of Jody -- she is lovely! I've read a lot of posts about her, but had never seen her picture. She is a striking dog.

Pipedream Farm Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Nicole, here is Peg and she is not white factored. (by C. Koval) Look at her back legs; notice she doesn't have white running up the inside or outside of her back legs. She also does not have any white on her back besides her colar.

Valhalla Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Bess is white factored - white running up inside of hind legs (photo by Denise Wall) Rook is not - little white in inside of hind legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valhalla Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 McCloud is white factored - white over hips and back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Nicole, The broad areas of white on your dog's hind legs (inside and out) are an indication of white factoring. The white patch on his back would be another indicator, IMO. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border_collie_crazy Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Misty is white factored, here is the best pic I could find that shows the white on her rear leg, she also has tufts of white hair sprinkled throught the black, it drives me crazy lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prosperia Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Not even a single white hair on her back/rump, but she does have white running up the inside front of her back legs(a little less white than Christine's Bess). The back/inside is black/tan with white under her tail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
