Default Border Collies in B&W

Gorgeous morning for a doggy photo shoot ;-) decided to mess with black and white. Wasn't sure how my Stella dog would look as she is so oddly colored...but I think she looks kind of cool.

These are wonderful B&W shots. Both Stella and Mike look good in B&W. I love Stellas ears, are they like that all the time? She looks so happy in the second shot. Mike looks so comfy at his resting place. Great looking dogs you have there. Thanks for sharing

Thanks a lot ;-) yep, Stelly's ears are like that all the time, one up, one down. Her brother has ears (that my friend says) could shade the living room LOL but I think they taped his ears when he was a pup...I like the natural look myself.

How adorable. I love Stella's ears myself. I too, like the natural look. Got into quite a bit of trouble with one of my sheltie's breeder for not taping ears.

I bet sheltiesmama ;-) especially Shelties ears. That's why I'm glad I don't belong to the AKC. My dogs are ABCA, and are judged strictly on working ability. I imagine they'd faint if I tried to enter Stelly in an AKC conformation class LOL as she sure doesn't look like what their standard is ;-)

Thanks Dogtaggart, Yep Stelly has some odd markings (you should see her in color) and Mikey is def. one chilled dude ;-)
