But I do SO have a soft spot for those black faced dogs!  Why is that? One thing I don't like is a black faced dog. Had only one - a flat coated. Great dog, but the black face was hard to see and as a result, she had no facial expressions to speak of and was very hard to read. Apparently, this is common in black faced dogs - facial signalling is very reduced. My female's face is as black as they come and I have no problem reading her. There is plenty of facial expression....except at night at the end of a 30' tracking lead. George
