I even called to find out more. I found out that there were 4 pups. 2 mainly white with a tiny bit of black, and 2 mainly white with a bit of black. If they had been marked like a Border, I would have been more tempted.....but I know their temperament would have been alot more independent than I would have wanted. However, one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever seen was 1/2 Pyr, and 1/2 Collie. Marked like a Collie, though perhaps more white, but much heavier boned, and head more like a Pyr. Don't know how it was temperamentally, though.-----------Marna
