Piercing blue eyes? I'll give you piercing blue eyes. Here's what can happen when a Siberian Husky falls in love with a Border Collie.
I met this ravishing creature at a schoolyard where we used to walk my late dog Harpo. Sorry, it's digital, but with the B&Ws of blue-eyed dogs, I couldn't resist.
A few people who have seen this have claimed I photoshopped the eyes in. I did not.

Border Collies can have blue eyes, you know -- it's hard to tell going by looks (since Border Collies can look like pretty much anything) but from this photo, the dog could easily pass as purebred.
I like creepy yellow eyes, myself (sorry for the dSLR shot):

Melanie: The owner of "'ol Blue Eyes" told me that one parent had two blue eyes, and the other had one blue eye and one yellow one. (I don't even want to think about the genetic diagram for that combination!). And the parents were indeed a Husky and a Border Collie. This dog is *big*--he's the size of a Golden Retriever, but with recognizable Border Collie-ish markings.
Hope we encounter the owner again, I want to give her a print.

I love the angle and expression on your dog's face. I'm reading a novel called "Bunnicula" and it makes me think of the author. Yes, the author is a dog. ...

So Melanie--what with being involved in the ---Canine Behavioral Genetics Project, UCSF--how many dogs do you have? All border collies?

I have two dogs -- both Border Collies.
I used to have a Papillon as well, but he didn't get along with the Border Collie in my photos (which with a seven-fold difference in body size can be fatal), and so now he lives with an agility competitor in Modesto and her other Papillon, yapping and swimming and playing with someone his own size.
My first Border Collie, who is my most frequent model, is a behavior case and the reason I ended up working on this project in the first place!
I do plan on adding another Border Collie in the next few years. Just waiting for the right time, the right breeding, and the right puppy.
