Rusty's Family Album
Rusty's litter. Two blue merles (one with coat), one chocolate (or red tri in Australian Shepherds), and one chocolate/red merle (Rusty).
Note that this litter is out of two "acceptably" colored Cardigans. The sire is a black and white with brindle points and the dam is a blue merle with tan points, both carrying the dilution recessively.

Rusty & Daphne - A Chocolate Red Merle and a Blue Merle
Rusty came home to visit and play with the puppies. He's doing great in his agility training!

We miss him here, but he's having fun.
