Lucy is a blue merle colour-headed white; notice that her head is normally colored while her body is predominately white. These shelties are no more likely to be deaf or blind than any other full color sheltie.

Note that this sheltie has a predominantly white head and body. Many double merles are very often deaf or blind or both, related to lack of pigmentation in the eye and ear.
