We made a trip to Marymoor Dog Park and saw an amazing number of dogs. Along with the usual number of goldens, labs and huskies were a few that really stood out. One of them was this sleek border collie: he had a coat that was part blue merle and part black and white (there's a name for that, but I can't remember it now). Really a striking patternation!



Another dog whose coat I really admired was a collie mix that also had a mish-mash of red merle and collie markings:



At another dog park (Calicougar will recognize this one!), I added another breed to my life-list of dog breeds I've met: a Kuvasz!



The owner was impressed that I guessed correctly!

I love the term!!! I hope one never crops up in my intended breeding program, but it's a great term. I love merle dogs.

Oh, Coba and I are already well into the process of explaining what we expect of one another in this life. He has already managed to convince me to break a rule I've always kept with dogs, and let him sleep in my bed at night. Occasionally, under the covers and with his own pillow.
