I have never heard of them, does anyone know how many of them are around, are they all similar colouring and the like, I think they look quiet sweet, but all dogs are sweet in my opinion,
ya learn somit new every day, I honestly had no idea about them,

I use to have a NewfiexBerner an accidental mating from the breeder we got Ollie from we had to return her as she was so dominant and she stopped me from getting out of the house one day,there were two in the litter the breeder kept her Sister and she is very different temperament wise and is a lovely girl,Zanta is now rehomed with someone else and they have an extremely good relationship.Have some photos they didn't have the collie in them though and are black and white as the dad is a Landseer.

Zanta as a pup 8 weeks old.


Zanta growing up we had to return her buy the time she was 8 months old.

They seem a lot more typey these days from pictures i've seen-bearing little resemblance too what was posted, a lot more like a slightly 'lighter' b&w mountain dog

Seems another 'designer dog' label to me like Labradoodle or whatever!

I knew someone who got duped into buying a dog similar to this, it was described as a Welsh Border Collie! She entered him into a champ show and was practically laughed out of the ring poor girl. The judge told her there was no such thing.

Could it have been a Welsh Sheepdog? A well recognised breed.

No, looked nothing like those. It was basically a farm-bred Border Collie type, difficult to describe really. It was black & white but had wiry hair bit like a terrier-type coat. Just looked like a cross-breed to me, lovely dog though he was a real sweetie.

This is getting out of hand, cross breeds being given fancy names or silly names then sold for huge amounts grrr!!
