Taiko-- Pure Border Collie!

Remember how you were wondering if Taiko was a pure border collie? At the Border Collie Rescue shindig yesterday, I asked someone if BC's can come in a brindle color and she said, "Yes!" She pointed me to a page about border collies ( The Border Collie Museum ).
Apparently brindle is a very rare color: only "lilac" is more rare. You should take some good pics of Taiko and send them in to the museum!!
Here's the actual link about the brindle color!

The way that Taiko and Rondo played-- looking and moving identically-- convinces me that he's 100% border collie (not that being a mixed pup would make him any less marvelous, but it's cool to discover something new about a rescue pet!). Taiko's mannerisms are exactly Rondo's and Tay's!
