I find it curious where the 1st blue
merle champion originated - sire was a BM Collie.
Also that the first 3 champions made up
after the second world war were a sable, a tri and a blue merle. After that, the
sables really seemed to be in the limelight.
So far (2000) there have
been 485 Sables, 121 Tricolours, 92 Blue Merles. Total = 700
Interesting comparisons with the IKC
results....I'd love to know if anyone has stats for other countries? (I know Robert Millar
has booklets with US champions & current Australian collection)
