I have four red merle tri puppies two males two females and two red tri females. They are CKC reg the father is a red merle tri who doubled reg CKC and NSDR. the mother is a black tri and CKC reg. these pups are pretty and they wont last they will have blue eye with flecks just like the father. I breed for the working instinct of the Australian shepherd and if this is what u want in a dog then you found it. these dog are family oriented and will do ne thing to protect the family iv learned from experiance call NOw cause they really wont last long
