Jesstar Vanity Fair- pictured at 10 months |
Meet Vivienne. She joined our family recently and she is expecting puppies the first week of February. Vivienne stepped out of her crate, coming from warm Florida to cold Idaho and was happy to be "home". She fit right in immediately and we feel very fortunate to have her join us.
She is a sable merle. Shelties have two base coat colors, black and sable. The merle gene is a dilution gene that in a base of black dilutes to create the Blue merle. In a base of sable, the merle gene dilutes to a sable with patches of diluted sable. These pictures of Vivienne don't show the patches very well. I will take pictures of her after she has puppies that show her true colors.
