In two weeks I'll have the first peek at my new puppy, an Australian Shepherd. The litter has a chance at every major color (Black Tri, Blue Merle, Red/Liver Tri, Red/Liver Merle). So, wisps forming a puppy I don't know the look of. Dotted lines (I usually hate the textures but I felt it appropriate here) form much of it as wisps are insubstatial.
For those curious--I'm hoping for a red/liver male, with or without merle. My last two dogs have been solid black so I will be ecstatic to get anything other than a black tri.
