I like blue eyes in Border Collies (and horses) as well. Although, there's more of a chance of them going blind in a blue eye. They say blue eyes "wear out" because their light colored. So, I breed for no blue eyes
You can always show in international shows. They are laid back, fun, and educational because the judge actually gives you a written critique of your dog, so you know where it is weak and where it is strong etc. Visit. I would at least try to show your dog at this type of show because it is fairly easy to aquire a championship and the majority of people are very kind along with the judges.
