FYI -
Color-headed white Shelties are predominantly white, with a head color of any
of the allowed colors. Unlike homozygous merles (double merles),
color-headed whites have no vision or hearing defects related to their color.
They were permitted by the breed standard until its revision in 1952.
There is a group of Sheltie fanciers today who are in favor of revising the
standard to allow color-headed white Shelties to be shown on an equal
basis with the other allowed colors. There is a white Sheltie club.
Interestingly enough, the Collie went through something similar with their
whites. The white Collie is now permitted to show in AKC.
