Your collie is known as a merle, that's the term for that sort of coat colour, it's a genetic thing, can be blue, red or other colours I think and it affects eye colour as well.

Merle (dog coat) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I first came across one a few years ago up here, it was a red one, very unusual, and I don't know if you remember me posting pics from dog agility trials a few weeks ago, there were quite a few there. I think they are becoming more popular.

Here's a pic from the dog trials of a red merle collie.

Thanks for that Sue -so Chicca is a blue merle! (Nicer than the red one I think) She is a lovely sweet dog and very friendly. Doesn't seem to be deaf either which I read is frequently a problem for these kinds of dogs.
