Is the blue Merlin collie a good dog?
Yes it is. Its a beautiful colouration and often has light blue eyes. My collie bitch's mother was a blue merle. so my dog is black and white, but her white paws and chest have the 'blue merle' effect. she is very pretty.
I have a shepherd dog too and they should not be shaved. Just offer plenty of fresh water all day long and from time to time let them stay somewhere cool. He has a little hallway (entrance) of his own where he asks to relax or where he sleeps at night (I do not want passers-by to harm him in any manner even by giving him unknown food, for instance)
For many dogs their coats actually help to keep them cooler by providing shade and keeping the sun off of their skin. Wolves don't shave and they have been doing fine for centuries.
