I know one breeder who stupidly plans to breed a merle pyrshep to a merle
border collie for flyball dogs.. um first off their is like 3 pysheps that can acually play flyball, their is a reason for this lol the breed is not built to be able to run well over hurdles, oh they can run very well.. on flat.. but not over hurdles. somehow she figers a horrable flyball dog bred to an exellent flyball dog will produce exellent flyball dogs? lol I really cant figer out WHY she wants to breed a merle to a merle at all though, I hope she knows that all she is going to end up with is a bunch of lethal puppys and a couple of usless puppys...my mom has been trying her best to explain to her that it wont work! (she has time the merle male happens to be a 12 week old puppy at the moment)
