Hrm. The breeder didn't say anything about that, but it might not be a bad idea for me to ask. He does have SOME dark pigmentation on his eye rim, and when I compared pictures of him at 8 wks to him now, the dark is slowly overtaking the pink on his nose, but still, I should ask. He doesn't seem to get sunburned, though yesterday was pretty mild (typical Florida spring day). That's definitely something I should find out before the scorching summers get here. (Then again, with his coat, I foresee him spending much of our "scorching summers" inside with the A/C!)

Then again, he's from a merle-to-tri breeding, so he might not have that sensitivity. Going to write the breeder, just to be sure. (I love our breeder! We stayed at her farm for a good two hours, just talking, and she made it very clear that I was welcome to write or call with any questions, and she wanted to see as many pictures as I could throw at her. If we ever get another Aussie, we're so going to her.)
