In any case, all three of those breeds, along with many other dogs
developed in the British Isles other than terriers, carry the gene for the
Irish marking pattern...that is -- white paws or feet, white chest,
sometimes a white collar, and a white muzzle or blaze on the head...so if
Collies sometime in the past didn't allow a white chest, they would have
had
to deny the rest of the white marks that come with the Irish
pattern....
Speaking of Irish, when I judged ARBA we had a red and white Irish Setter
breed. I was told that was the original color and they went away from it.
But, they told me it was being brought back. I was told it was by changing
the standard.
I know changing the standard is not favored by many in the GSDCA, but we do
need to be open to any and all ideas to improve our breed.
