Ok, appologies in advance for the similarities of several photos in this set. I blame posting them all due to the fact that I just COULD NOT decide which was better than the other. I absolutely love Cirque's markings. After another brief visit to Dr. Adaska's to feed her critters while she was gone I had to focus on capturing this border collie's coat colors and personality as best I could. I hope you all enjoy the end result!
That doesn't look like a collie at all, the markings are unusual. Her ticks make her adorable though, she's gorgeous. I'd be a proud owner if I had her. <3
She's not a collie. She's a "border collie". It's a breed from the UK. The markings are somewhat unusual in that she's looks like a blue merle without any of the "blue". For lack of any knowledge on whether there is such a classification I'd call her a black merle. Border collies are bred differently in that they are bred for a performance standard instead of for appearance. This gives them quite a wide variety of coloration and coat patterns, but all within a relatively similar framework. You can definitely see conformity for the body and lush double coat. Beyond that, patterns are not specific although black and white border collies are the most common.

That's exactly right. I'm used to the black/white run of the mill border collies. I've never saw one with her markings, ever. She reminds me of a completely different dog, but the name fails to come to me right now. Dang. Her build and thick fur are pretty obvious giveaways. She's gorgeous nonetheless.
wow she is sooo unique!! i love the pose to. A+++++++++++++

I adore the expression on her face in this one. The pose and everything just seems to say 'look at me, I'm beautiful and oh so cuddly, don't you want to hug me?'

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article.

And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator, and this is just the prologue?
