April is a beautiful example of the breed but she is, unfortunately, painted with a unpopular brush! April is a Sable
Merle.
Sable Merle is not a faulted color nor is it a color that is linked to any health defects.  However it is nearly impossible
to finish a sable merle in the USA regardless of how nice the dog is.  
Please check out "The Sable Merle No Threat To The Future" by Dana Quinney printed in the Sheltie International
magazine
