You're not in the Southeast, are you?
They took some more besides my guy's siblings.
The vet told me it's got something to do with the amount of white. They're called merle and when they're not bred right it causes deafness and blindness. Mine has a bob tail and he also said something about that causing spinal problems if two bob tails are bred incorrectly. He thought my dog's spine should be okay. I really didn't like him so I'll be interested to hear what my vet has to say.
