Why Did the Breeder Refer to This Red Australian Shepherd Puppy as Turquoise?

by Linda Craig
(Carlisle, Ohio, Warren County, USA)

I would like to share her pretty red face with light eyes. I'm getting her in 3 days. She is a puppy.

I'd like to know why the breeder referred to her as turquoise? Is it a reference to her eyes?

I'm naming her Chessy for her chestnut coat. She's a little tyke but goes to the door and out to the grass by a barn to do her business.

I have a completely fenced in yard and my house dates to 1862 and I have the original two-story horse barn with a three-seater privy. Plenty of old barn smells I hope Chessy likes.

I can't wait for any help I can get since I'm new to this breed. I've had Border Collies and a blue merle Sheltie.

Thanks in advance for helping me!
