Question
This is really not a question rather an answer to an old question you asked back in 2008 there actually is such a thing is a solid blue heeler they are extremely rare and very valuable.

Answer
Hi Ali

We raised working Heelers in the early 1980's and I still stand by my answer.

Although the Australian Cattle dog is born white, the ticking comes in as they age.

Solid white would be a defect and an indication of deafness and/or blindness.  Why it would be considered valuable is anyone's guess. But back when people were not selling "rare" colors for profit but sound working animals, white dogs would have been culled in both the Heeler and the Boxer.

Good luck
