The Many Colors of Shelties



The many colors of shelties - a very interesting topic. I have two - both sable and white. The colors of shelties are sable and white, tricolor, blue mearle, white facored and true sable. I put pictures of the colorings next to the color descriptions. These are free domain pictures from the internet.

1. Sable and whites are brown with white on all four paws and dab of black.





2. Tricolors are black and brown and white - mostly black and a dark brown.





3. Blue mearles are a pretty dark blue or light blue with lots of white and spots of black. They may also have blue eyes, otherwise shelties always have brown eyes.


4. White factoreds are the same as sable and whites except they are mostly white. No black usually.




5. True sables are the same as sable and whites exept they are more rare and have prettier fur as well as the browns being lighter.
