I actually find this piece a great piece of research with lots of realisim for a change regarding history of American Collies. The surgically fix ears so long ago first practiced in writing Wow. The black and white collie and why a knee jerk policy seems to have eliminated the recessive "a" black in the color pigmentation genepool of today's collie.
