Chai
Pawcific Pumpkin Spice Latte, "Chai" at 4 months old. He is my keeper from my last BC litter from CH Winpara Dragonfire and CH Pawcific Hundred Aker Wood. Don't you just love those dark ee reds!!
Yes, this would be similar to the pink color in Cardigans. As in Cardigans it is a gene that masks the true color. So, Chai is actually genetically a black and white. BC's do come in a range of colors (you wouldn't believe what we can have!), many of which you don't see in the ring. I have a red merle, a blue merle, a blue, a black, and now a gold (or Australian red). I also have shown a tri.
Welcome to Pawcific! I have been breeding and showing dogs since 1995. I currently breed Cardigan Welsh Corgis and Border Collies. In the dog show world I am a breeder, retired professional handler, a conformation handling teacher, and now an AKC judge for Cardigans, Border Collies, and all breed Junior Showmanship. Outside of the dog world, I am a professional singer who graduated with my Master in Music in vocal performance from University of Oregon, plus I have two wonderful sons named Evan and Andrew, who are the center of my life!

Just how many colors do BCs come in? I had no idea...is this a 'pink' like in Cardi's?
I wish Cardigans were met with the same openmindedness as far as colors.
Chai is beautiful.
He's Iris colored!

"Australian Red". I didn't know that term but like it. Iris and Chai are "Australian reds".
We'll see how much openmindedness Iris meets in the ring, L'eo. I suspect that most won't realize that she's not a "regular" red.
Chai is almost enough to make me want a bc ;-)
