Border Collie x Husky? =\

[Miss Z]

She looks like a full BC to me. She's got the BC ears

I'm not getting involved in any arguements or anything, but i don't think Vela was being sarcastic. I think she was just a little confused as to why your mother would want rid of the dog if she was crossbred. All i'm saying is it didn't appear sarcastic to me, but maybe it did to you, and i know how people take things differently.

I'm surprised how many of you think she's purebred!!

I thought almost all of you would think she looked Husky!.. I guess I've been looking at too many black and white Husky pictures today. lol

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

She definitley looks pure Border Collie to me I see no Husky or any other breed in her at all.

[AllAmericanPUP]

she looks purebred BC to me

that first photo you posted is a rescue dog, correct? so that dogs breed mix is probably a guess someone made up because thats what they *think* the dog is mixed with.

what does it matter if she is part husky? what does your mom have against huskys?

[BC_MoM]

She isn't a fan of coarser hairs and she doesn't like how they are more pack-ish than other dog breeds and how they need a firmer hand as they tend to be pushy.

I can't remember who told her that bullpoop.

She looks beautiful, and BC to me. But, then what do I know?
MAXIMUS is a cross breed. I have to deal with that everyday.
But then again, I don't have my mother telling me.....well, anything.
If you have had her for a while, what difference should it make?
You don't have to lie. Everyone says she looks like a BC. So........
assure her she is a BC. And, maybe you don't have to worry about
it so much. They are both wonderful dogs. But, if that's what she
wants, all these people say, that's what she is. Just what all dogs
are........just lovey things that want you, and all the love you have.

I'd say BC...


This dog is pure BC, and she looks a lot like yours? I'm really not one to know though, but I assume if she had husky she would be kinda bulky? BC are really slim

She looks all BC to me . You probably wont be able to tell untill she is a little older.

Elvis howls, pulls and he is all BC .

ETA that is one cute BC Audrey .

I think it's just the blue eye throwing you off. People see blue eyes and they think husky. Truth is, many breeds can have blue eyes, including border collies. Border collies can also have erect ears...hers look like border collie ears, not husky ears. It's hard to tell with her being so young, and you'll never know 100% either.

No offense to anyone here...I think both border collies and siberian huskies are normally dogs for experienced owners only, and I've been around both breeds, I'll take a husky any day, while they are not easy I think they are easier to handle than a BC!

I really hope your mom wouldn't get rid of her simply because she thinks Molly is part husky and she dislikes huskies...you will never even know if she's purebred, just love her for her personality not her breed (she's beautiful btw!)

Nebo is a purebred siberian husky and his friend Cisco is a BC/Aussie cross. Cisco is more like a BC in the face I think. I've attached some pictures of them together for reference.

I agree completely. You can't just walk out to a breeder, buy a BC pup, come home and expect it to be an angel.. you need to do MAJOR research and get completely prepared.

Cisco and Nebo are BEAUTIFUL dogs! Lovely scenery!

Jess I see absolutely NO huskey in her, at all. All I see is purebred BC! IF there is a mix the only mix I could think of would be with an Aussie, since both breeds are so close you know?

But otherwise, she looks pure

[xParisx]

My opinion doesnt really mean much, as i do not know alot about BCs, but i think she looks pure BC. AND shes really cute. x

[lv4dogs]

I'll say it again... I see only BC in her.

[dab_20]

yep i think shes purebred bc. shes such a cutie!!

[Mads2012]

I hate to be the bearer of bad news in your situation but she is definitely bc x husky. I have one myself and your molly is almost identical to Alaska at that age. Alaska looks almost pure collie with one blue eye and is the most beautifully behaved dog. I did put in the hard yards with obedience, agility and socialization from day 1 though. I have also owned a husky and do not see a single trait in Alaska that the husky showed. You have a beautiful pup there who is going to be a very loyal and loving dog. Prove your mum wrong with the cross breed myth. I sure did with my mum. She was the sane, really hesitant that she was crossed with a husky and the day I moved out my mum cried because Alaska came with me.

Also, I am really new to this and would like to show photos of Alaska at that age and now, can anyone please help?
