Rare Or Disqualifed Colours In Breeds.

[gila]

The sable collie and the mismarked labs are stunning!!!

Does anyone know if this is a rare-coloured border collie, or am I mistaking it for a different breed altogether?

This would be a choc tri BC. Not a recognised colour in Australia (is recognised in the rest of the world), but certainly not rare since it WILL be produced when 2 recognised colours are bred together. Unrecognised colours are becoming less & less rare in BC's as so many strive to breed them.

Could be a red tri Aussie too.

It also looks a lot like my boy, who's a BC x Kelpie :D

Kees can come in red/orange, white, and black.

That was actually my first thought too Head looks more kelpieish than either BC or Aussie.

I have only heard of blacks being born in Australia, and that was a very very long time ago.

There is a purebred Irish terrier in WA that had a big black blanket.

Keira!

That's her Lyndsay

[Sayly]

I think she's gorgeous, Mum doesn't! Mum's a little worried one might crop up in our litter but it's unlikely from the lines we have.

A "whitley" Pembroke Corgi

[winpara]

"Fluffy" Pembroke Corgi - who also has a blue eye! (another no-no that crops up occasionally)

[Guest Pandii]

there was a dog here for agility trials on the weekend that looked just like that panda sheperd

[poochmad]

Beautiful dogs everyone. I wonder when people (non-ethical breeders) go to sell the dogs whether they advertise the pup's colour as 'rare'?

I really like her. A bit special.

She is a lovely girl, I think she's gorgeous too. They were parked next to me at a trial when she was a little puppy

I have seen some rare colours in Tenties (I believe it was called a dilute fawn?) but can't find any pictures

The only colour Manchester Terrier I can find apart from Black & Tan is blue:

Absolultely LOVE this thread

Incredible how a different colour can show a dog in a completely different light. Some are quite difficult to recognise simply becasue you do not expect to see a breed in that colour.

Love them all, The Irish, poodles and GSDs in particular, amazing colours and coats.

Also LOVE the agouti sibe and the smooth afghan

Oh let's be honest, they are all stunning...

[cannibalgoldfish]

Dagnabbit. I wanted to post a photo of a long haired Shiba but my photobucket isnt working right now

[SkySoaringMagpie]

To go with the long coated Rottie.

a smooth afghan looks kinda like a Sloughi or one of those Azwha????? I cant remember I'm sure you know what I mean.

Azawakh

I think the Afghan has a bigger head.

4 pix of the related breeds below - standing up so you can see the difference better. I haven't included stuff like Caravan Hounds or Greyhounds. All I can say is that if you're not sure, ask. Nothing offends some of our overseas friends like calling a smooth saluki an azawakh, or whatever

Smooth Afghan:

Smooth Saluki:

Azawakh

Sloughi

[SpotTheDog]

This is totally fascinating - before this thread I'd never heard of an Azawakh, and to be completely honest (and pardon if this comes across as ignorant), if I'd seen a dog like that in the street or in a yard I would have feared for its care given how pronounced its ribs and hips are!!

[Kirislin]

I didn't say it was, I just said it looks kinda like. I realise it was a short haired afghan because that's what keshwar said it was. I hope no one took offence at that. If they did, they're easily offended. We cant all be experts but I love seeing breeds that are new to me. I never even knew before this thread there even was a short haired afghan. Can it be shown?
