A shiny new breed specific gene!
Pearl is a sister gene to Chinchilla and presents as epheph or Echeph with atat/ata, at+at+/at+a, and kyky. It functions similarly to Eryth, with all eumelanin (black pigment) being replaced by pheomelanin (red pigment), with their markings following the Chinchilla pattern. Echeph collies are known as Mosaic Chinchillas, with a combination of the normal presentations of both Pearl and Chinchilla, resulting in a pseudo-chimeric chinchilla coat.


Practicing Gratitude!
It's important to think about things we're grateful for. Tell me something easily overlooked that this collie is grateful for and why! Example: the sounds of birds in the morning or a stranger wishing them a good morning.
Ends 19th

You may apply for as many as you’d like, but each person may only win one of this initial set of Pearl collies.

Username: wolfhaunt
Name: WH My Planet, My Dune // Arrakis
Gender: DMAB
Name Meaning: Named after the planet Arrakis from the Dune series.
Prompt:

The way the sun rises every single day, no matter what. It’s an easy thing to forget, even though the sun is responsible for the growth of plants, warming the earth, providing crucial vitamins, and much more. The cycle of night and day reminds Arrakis that there is always the possibility of better days ahead. The light will always return, even after long and dark nights.

[Shadow17]

Username: Shadow17
Name: SLK Sweet Dreams // Ether
Gender: Female
Name Meaning: [optional]
Prompt: Ether likes going into the forest in the morning to watch the light dance through the leaves. There's some parts where the canopy is dense, and some where it's almost unfiltered. But watching the beams of light shine through remind her to stay hopeful, when there's nothing left to do.

[Temper]

Username: Temper
Name: The Love You Want / Cinnamon
Gender: Female
Name Meaning: [optional]
Prompt: Cinnamon appreciates the little routine she and her own have before going out on a walk. The 'click' the collar makes as it buckles into place around her neck, and then she shakes to help it slide into a natural spot on her neck and her owner always laughs. Then her owner slides the harness over her head and carefully sweeps aside her long belly floof to 'click' the harness into place. She again shakes followed by a laugh. With one last 'click' the leash is snapped onto the shiny ring on her harness. These small moments could so easily be overlooked but Cinnamon makes a point to appreciate every second, as it truly encompasses the bond with her owner, and she knows one day in the future she might not have the same routine.

[paopu]

Username: paopu
Name: Nacre
Gender: Male
Name Meaning: another name for Mother Of Pearl
Prompt: There's a certain noise he makes, when Nacre has really managed to drop a sly remark into a conversation. It's the softest possible sigh, a noise of exasperation, usually accompanied by an eye roll. But there's something under it all that tells Nacre that he is also Fond. That a part of him loves Nacre's antics. Nacre lives for that sigh.

Username: jpano96
Name: SB Thred Weaver | Lachesis
Gender: Male
Name Meaning: to obtain by lot, by fate, or by the will of the gods. Named after one of the greek Three Fates.
Prompt: Lachesis doesn't always ponder over it, but during hard times he reflects and is in deep gratitude that he gets to wake up each morning without pain. Many others take for granted only the occasional back ache or broken dew claw, but he has known dogs suffering from chronic pain who push forward the best they can each day.

[coaliev]

Username: coaliev
Name: Gilded Silence | Lustre
Gender: Female
Name Meaning: Lustre refers to a soft, radiant shine or glow, often used to describe the gentle light reflecting off surfaces like pearls, metals, or silk. It also symbolizes elegance, refinement, and a quiet brilliance. In a figurative sense, it can represent someone's inner light or the way they illuminate the world around them.
Prompt: Lustre's master is a book hoarder with a cosy little library in one of the rooms of their house. Lustre loves spending time there while her master reads. She enjoys the faint smell of old books and the sense of history filling the room. She can spend hours imagining what the books are about and why they were written. Lustre feels grateful to those who recorded their thoughts and ideas on paper, allowing future generations to learn from them, even after they're gone.
