What is a red bi Australian Shepherd?

What is a BI Australian Shepherd?

Black and White Aussie These are called “black bi” Australian Shepherds, which stand for black bicolor. Most of the time, you'll see white marking on just the face, chest, belly and legs. White will be in points similar to the tri-colored version – but without the copper.

How much is a red merle Australian Shepherd?

The price can vary depending on the quality of the breeder and the dog itself. Most Aussies cost anywhere from $600 to $3,000, but most fall on the lower end of the scale.

How much is a red Australian Shepherd?

Usually, the average price of an Australian Shepherd puppy from a reputable breeder is between $1,000 and $2,000, while a top-quality Australian Shepherd puppy can cost as high as $3,000 and upward. Their price depends upon the pup's age, sex, quality, pedigree, and breeder's location.

How do I know if my Australian Shepherd is purebred?

Look for folded ears. Overall, they should reach down to, or slightly past, the pivot area of the lower jaw. There is some debate about whether an Aussie should have folded or upright ears. While show dogs are required to have folded ears, there are many purebred dogs that have upright, or pricked, ears.

What color eyes do Aussies have?

Why are Aussies so expensive?

Checkups and Vaccinations Altogether, the AKC says you should expect to pay $2,889 a year for a mid-sized dog like an Aussie. The costs will be higher than the first year because of all the vet appointments and vaccines, with an average price of $3,085.

What happens if you breed 2 merle Aussies?

Many people are unaware, but when two merles (of any breed) are bred together, each puppy has a 25% chance of being born as a double merle. These puppies have excessive white coloration – lack of pigment – and this coloration causes loss of hearing, vision, or any combination of the two impairments.

Can you breed 2 merles?

A double merle is created when two merle dogs are bred together. It doesn't matter what color merle or what breed they are. ... Double merles also have a very high chance of being deaf, blind, or both because they lack pigment where it would normally be. The pups that do not inherit the gene twice are “normal” dogs.

What's the rarest Australian Shepherd color?

Solid red Australian Shepherds aren't terribly popular, which is probably why they are the rarest color. These dogs will have liver-colored noses, eye rims, and paw pads. This is because the gene that makes red suppresses the black pigment, so none should come through.

How can I tell if my Australian Shepherd is red factored?

You can determine whether a black dog is red factored several ways: If it has a liver parent or offspring, by doing a DNA test, or by breeding it to a liver colored dog to see if you get liver puppies.

Why are Aussies eyes blue?

The presence of blue eyes does not always indicate a merle. This type of recessive blue eye can be observed both in merles and nonmerles. In Aussies, recessive blues like this are caused by a recessive gene similar to that found in Siberian huskies and Border collies.
